Surprise

Python 3.15.0 candidate 3 is here!

Following recent tradition, here’s a surprise third release candidate for Python 3.15.0! We got some last-minute lazy-import release blockers, and it makes sense to include them in 3.15.0 final. It also makes sense to give a bit of time to test them properly, so this week’s planned 3.15.0 final is postponed until next week, and here’s an extra 3.15.0rc3. This is a candidate preview of Python 3.15 This release, 3.15.0rc3, is the final planned release candidate, containing around 156 bugfixes…

Everyone please test, 3.15.0 final is planned for 2026-10-09.
