I've updated the https://www.python.org/downloads/ page:

Added download links to the active Python versions table. Before, you had to hunt for the one you wanted in the table below.

They're redirect links, so, for example, https://www.python.org/downloads/latest/python3.15/ goes to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3150a2/ and https://www.python.org/downloads/latest/python3.13/ goes to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3139/

Could be handy for your docs, if you want to point people to the latest, say, 3.12.

This build takes about half an hour.

I've also informed the Windows and macOS release managers about the tag and they will start up installer builds.

This takes a few hours, so I've got time to finish up the release notes.

Helsinki airport tips:

If getting the I train from the city, get on the last carriage to optimise exit (I think second from last doors are usually best).

Take the first escalator up from the platform, then after the short tunnel walk, take the lift as it's faster than the big escalators.

The Alepa grocery store before security has lots of sandwiches and pastries.

Turn left immediately after security for a water tap to fill your empty bottle.

Python 3.14:

We'll make the next release candidate (rc2) this Thursday, two weeks early, and add a rc3 on 2025-09-16.

We fixed a code generation bug that required the "magic number" to be increased for rc2. This means .pyc files compiled by rc1 can't be used in rc2 and will be recompiled.

The ABI isn't changing, and wheels built for rc1 should still work for rc2, rc3 and 3.14.x, but it's better to get this out for testing sooner.

Upcoming change to GitHub Actions: macos-latest will move from the macOS 14 image to macOS 15.

There's a slight change in tooling, if stuff fails, you can pin to macos-14.

More interestingly, the macos-13 image will be retired between 1st September and 14th November.

Notably, macos-13 is Intel, and macos-14 and 15 are Apple silicon.

Well, that took a while, partly because the RC is the first time the docs are included in the release.

The plain text build failed due to some Sphinx csv-table bug, needing a quick docs rewrite to use list-table (thanks, Adam Turner!) and a fresh start.

This actually broke back in April but we didn't notice. More CI needed!

Enjoy the plain text docs!
