RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: python3.11-3.11.2-2.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Python 3.11 available in RHEL 8 RHEL 8.8 introduces Python 3.11, provided by the new package `python3.11` and a suite of packages built for it, as well as the `ubi8/python-311` container image. Notable enhancements compared to the previously released Python 3.9 include: * Significantly improved performance. * Structural Pattern Matching using the new `match` keyword (similar to `switch` in other languages). * Improved error messages, for example, indicating unclosed parentheses or brackets. * Exact line numbers for debugging and other use cases. * Support for defining context managers across multiple lines by enclosing the definitions in parentheses. * Various new features related to type hints and the `typing` module, such as the new `X | Y` type union operator, variadic generics, and the new `Self` type. * Precise error locations in tracebacks pointing to the expression that caused the error. * A new `tomllib` standard library module which supports parsing TOML. * An ability to raise and handle multiple unrelated exceptions simultaneously using Exception Groups and the new `except*` syntax. Python 3.11 and packages built for it can be installed in parallel with Python 3.9, Python 3.8, and Python 3.6 on the same system. Note that, unlike the previous versions, Python 3.11 is distributed as standard RPM packages instead of a module. To install packages from the `python3.11` stack, use, for example: [literal] ---- # yum install python3.11 # yum install python3.11-pip ---- To run the interpreter, use, for example: [literal] ---- $ python3.11 $ python3.11 -m pip --help ---- See link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/configuring_basic_system_settings/index#assembly_installing-and-using-python_configuring-basic-system-settings[Installing and using Python] for more information. Note that Red Hat will continue to provide support for Python 3.6 until the end of life of RHEL 8. Similarly to Python 3.9, Python 3.11 will have a shorter life cycle; see link:https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle[Red Hat Enterprise Linux Application Streams Life Cycle].

Comment 14 Orion Poplawski 2023-03-17 15:50:29 UTC 
There doesn't appear to be a python3.11-devel package available in CentOS Stream 8.  What is the plan here?  Without that it will be impossible for EPEL to provide additional needed python 3.11 packages.

It is in the powertools repository.

# dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

and off you go :)

We have open issue [1] to move packages into correct  repositories in c8s.
Once that is fixed the package python3.11-devel will be in AppStream channel, same as will be in RHEL.

No idea how fast it will be fixed, though.

Comment 17 Orion Poplawski 2023-03-24 01:35:55 UTC 
Thanks for the updates.  Yeah, not really going to be able to build things until packages like python3.11-idna and python3.11-wheel are available.
Comment 18 Maxwell G 2023-03-29 16:52:27 UTC 
python3.11-rpm-macros is missing from the compose completely; it's not in CRB or Appstream.
Comment 19 Maxwell G 2023-03-29 17:21:29 UTC 
Also, python3-rpm-macros 3-45 [1] is missing from the mirrors. This contains fixes for Python 3.11, and without it, some of the Python macros don't work properly with 3.11. Is there a reason this hasn't been pushed?

```
fedrq pkgs -b c8s -S -Fnevrr python3-rpm-macros
python3-rpm-macros-3-44.el8.noarch centos-stream8-baseos
```

Comment 20 Miro Hrončok 2023-03-29 17:38:46 UTC 
Missing python3.11-rpm-macros is tracked in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CS-1502

python3-rpm-macros 3-45 is tracked in bz2169780.

> Missing python3.11-rpm-macros is tracked in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CS-1502

Yeah, I saw. I wanted to leave a comment saying that python3.11-rpm-macros is completely missing (not just in the wrong repository), but I apparently don't have sufficient permissions (it seems to be read only).

> python3-rpm-macros 3-45 is tracked in bz2169780.

Ack, thanks. I subscribed to that bug.
Comment 22 Miro Hrončok 2023-03-29 19:20:08 UTC 
> I wanted to leave a comment saying that python3.11-rpm-macros is completely missing (not just in the wrong repository)

That is known. The report says "(In brackets I list which repo the package currently resides, if there's no bracket, the package is not present in c8s at all.)" and python3.11-rpm-macros has no bracket.

> I apparently don't have sufficient permissions (it seems to be read only).

I've asked about this at https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2023-March/142868.html
