Development

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.9 release team, I’m pleased to
announce the availability of Python 3.9.0.

Python 3.9.0 is the newest feature release of the Python language, and it contains many new
features and optimizations. You can find Python 3.9.0 here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390/
<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390/>

Most third-party distributors of Python should be making 3.9.0 packages available soon.

See the “What’s New in Python 3.9 <https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.0/whatsnew/3.9.html>”
document for more information about features included in the 3.9 series. Detailed information about
all changes made in 3.9.0 can be found in its change log
<https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.0/whatsnew/changelog....>.

Maintenance releases for the 3.9 series will follow at regular bi-monthly intervals starting in
late November of 2020.



OK, boring! Where is Python 4?

Not so fast! The next release after 3.9 will be 3.10. It will be an incremental improvement over
3.9, just as 3.9 was over 3.8, and so on.

In fact, our newest Release Manager, Pablo Galindo Salgado, prepared the first alpha release of
what will become 3.10.0 a year from now. You can check it out here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3100a1/
<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3100a1/>

We hope you enjoy the new releases!

Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!
Please consider supporting our efforts by volunteering yourself or through organization
contributions to the Python Software Foundation.

Why and when to switch to Python 3.9

  • Cool New Features in Python 3.9

    Python 3.9 is here! Volunteers from all over the world have been working on improvements to Python for the past year. While beta versions have been available for some time, the first official version of Python 3.9 was released on October 5, 2020.

    Every release of Python includes new, improved, and deprecated features, and Python 3.9 is no different. The documentation gives a complete list of the changes. Below, you’ll take an in-depth look at the coolest features that the latest version of Python brings to the table.

  • When to switch to Python 3.9

    Python 3.9 is now available–but should you switch to it immediately? And if not now, when?

    The short answer is, no, you probably don’t want to switch immediately; quite possibly you can’t switch immediately. To understand why, we need to consider Python packaging, the software development process, and take a look at the history of past releases.

Python 3.9 Is Released

  • Python 3.9 Is Released

    Python 3.9 is the first release since the Python project decided to move to a 17-month release cycle with yearly releases. The new schedule gives major versions like Python 3.9 one and a half years of full support with an additonal three and a half years of security fixes. Work on Python 3.10 begun five months ago and the first alpha preview of that version, scheduled to be released one year from now, was released alongside Python 3.9.
    Python 3.9 brings a lot of new features to the table. The Python documentation's What’s New In Python 3.9 is a long one.

    [...]

    The grammar requirements for decorations are far less restrictive in Python 3.9 than they were in previous versions. That change will make maintenance of things like PyQt5 a lot easier. It also makes it easier to read and understand the code. It is now possible to use any expression that would fit in a if or while block as a decorator.

It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
