Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2021-10-01 11:51:12 UTC

According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.10#Important_dates_and_plan I'd like to include the final release of Python 3.10.0 in Fedora 35 GA.

While the release should technically happen 1 day before the final freeze, from experience it might be slipped by a couple of days.

There is quite a lot of commits between Python 3.10.0rc2 and final. Most of them are improving documentation and some of them are bugfixes. We plan to check them when the final is released. We would like to avoid shipping a release candidate in a final Fedora release.

A temporary branch exists in upstream for changes between 3.10.0rc2 and final:

https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/branch-v3.10.0
https://github.com/python/cpython/compare/v3.10.0rc2...branch-v3.10.0

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2021-10-04 23:01:14 UTC

FEDORA-2021-aa96e56ac0 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 35. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-aa96e56ac0

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2021-10-05 08:27:45 UTC

FTR Tomáš and I have reviewed all the commits between rc2 and final and we found nothing suspicious. It is mostly docs or tests, IDLE or similar, except for the following 3 exceptional exception-related commits:

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/39c4fe5e2b2ae5ac45c380b0a83e86bac3d7129c
https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/3397e3192ccc95ff7076f735930d2f4c60fbc278
https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/1e2058214fffcb3919e0e127145106ade40a0420

I've consulted them with the Red Hat Python Maint experts as well as the upstream Python Release manager and we concluded they are not dangerous (changes like this also happen between patch releases).
