The rapid evolution of Python presents version selection challenges for developers. We will talk about the development process of Python versions, mainly focusing on the key changes from Python 3.10 to 3.14. This talk will highlight the most impactful features and their implications for real-world development, helping developers make informed decisions about upgrading their Python.
Python's continuous evolution introduces specialized tools for diverse development challenges. By examining release highlights from 3.10 onward - including structural pattern matching, performance optimizations, typing enhancements and the just-in-time (JIT) compiler - this talk summarize the great strides Python has made in recent years. We will also explore the Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) lifecycle to understand feature evolution mechanisms. We would like to equip attendees to make strategic decisions: adopting improvements where they deliver meaningful impact while preserving system stability where essential.
