Well, well, well, it’s time for Python 3.13.0 alpha 2!
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130a2/

*This is an early developer preview of Python 3.13*
<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-alpha-2/39379#major-new-features-of-the-313-series-compared-to-312-1>Major
new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12

Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0a2 is the second
of seven planned alpha releases.

Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of
new features and bug fixes and to test the release process.

During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the
beta phase (2024-05-07) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up
until the release candidate phase (2024-07-30). Please keep in mind that
this is a preview release and its use is *not* recommended for production
environments.

Many new features for Python 3.13 are still being planned and written. The
most notable change so far:

- PEP 594 (Removing dead batteries from the standard library)
<https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> scheduled removals of many
deprecated modules: aifc, audioop, chunk, cgi, cgitb, crypt, imghdr,
mailcap, msilib, nis, nntplib, ossaudiodev, pipes, sndhdr, spwd, sunau,
telnetlib, uu, xdrlib, lib2to3.
- Many other removals
<https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed> of deprecated
classes, functions and methods in various standard library modules.
- New deprecations
<https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#deprecated>, most of
which are scheduled for removal from Python 3.15 or 3.16.
- C API removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id10>
and deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id9>.
(Some removals present in alpha 1 have been reverted in alpha 2, as the
removals were deemed too disruptive at this time.)

(Hey, *fellow core developer,* if a feature you find important is missing
from this list, let Thomas know <thomas@python.org>.)

The next pre-release of Python 3.13 will be 3.13.0a3, currently scheduled
for 2023-12-19.
