After all the shenanigans two weeks ago =E2=80=93 everyone discovering nast=
y little
problems in release candidate 2 =E2=80=93 the last week was suspiciously qu=
iet, and
therefore I can finally say:
<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-final-has-been-released/66972#p=
-196505-python-3130-is-now-available-1>Python
3.13.0 is now available

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130/
This is the stable release of Python 3.13.0

Python 3.13.0 is the newest major release of the Python programming
language, and it contains many new features and optimizations compared to
Python 3.12. (Compared to the last release candidate, 3.13.0rc3, 3.13.0
contains two small bug fixes and some documentation and testing changes.)
<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-final-has-been-released/66972#p=
-196505-major-new-features-of-the-313-series-compared-to-312-3>Major
new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12

Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.13 are:
<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-final-has-been-released/66972#p=
-196505-new-features-4>New
features

   - A new and improved interactive interpreter
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#a-better-interactive-in=
terpreter>,
   based on PyPy <https://pypy.org/>=E2=80=99s, featuring multi-line editin=
g and
   color support, as well as colorized exception tracebacks
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages=
>
   .
   - An *experimental* free-threaded build mode
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#whatsnew313-free-thread=
ed-cpython>,
   which disables the Global Interpreter Lock, allowing threads to run more
   concurrently. The build mode is available as an experimental feature in =
the
   Windows and macOS installers as well.
   - A preliminary, *experimental* JIT
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#an-experimental-just-in=
-time-jit-compiler>,
   providing the ground work for significant performance improvements.
   - The locals() builtin function (and its C equivalent) now has well-defi=
ned
   semantics when mutating the returned mapping
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#defined-mutation-semant=
ics-for-locals>,
   which allows debuggers to operate more consistently.
   - A modified version of mimalloc  <https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc=
>is
   now included, optional but enabled by default if supported by the platfo=
rm,
   and required for the free-threaded build mode.
   - Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>=
,
   reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files. (Most tools handling
   docstrings already strip leading indentation.)
   - The dbm module <https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/dbm.html> has a
   new dbm.sqlite3 backend
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#dbm> that is used by
   default when creating new files.
   - The minimum supported macOS version was changed from 10.9 to 10.13
   (High Sierra). Older macOS versions will not be supported going forward.
   - WASI is now a Tier 2 supported platform
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#tier-2>. Emscripten is no longer
an officially
   supported platform
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#no-longer-supported-platforms> (but
   Pyodide <https://pyodide.org/> continues to support Emscripten).
   - iOS is now a Tier 3 supported platform
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0730/>.
   - Android is now a Tier 3 supported platform
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0738/>.

<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-final-has-been-released/66972#p=
-196505-typing-5>
Typing

   - Support for type defaults in type parameters
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0696/>.
   - A new type narrowing annotation <https://peps.python.org/pep-0742/>,
   typing.TypeIs.
   - A new annotation for read-only items in TypeDicts
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0705/>.
   - A new annotation for marking deprecations in the type system
   <https://peps.python.org/pep-0702>.

<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-final-has-been-released/66972#p=
-196505-removals-and-new-deprecations-6>Removals
and new deprecations

   - 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/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed-modules-and-api=
s>
of
   deprecated classes, functions and methods in various standard library
   modules.
   - C API removals
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed-c-apis> and
   deprecations
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#deprecated-c-apis>.
   (Some removals present in alpha 1 were reverted in alpha 2, as the remov=
als
   were deemed too disruptive at this time.)
   - New deprecations
   <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#new-deprecations>, most
   of which are scheduled for removal from Python 3.15 or 3.16.
