Python 3.7.0 and 3.6.6
The latest feature release of Python, 3.7.0, has
been announced, along with the latest maintenance release for
Python 3.6, 3.6.6.
As noted on the "What's New In
Python 3.7" page, there are many significant changes in the
release. These include postponed
evaluation of type annotations (for performance and simpler forward
references to types), insertion-order preservation for dict objects is now
part of the language, data classes have
been added, async and await are now keywords,
there are usability and performance improvements for asyncio, a new
C API for thread-local storage has been added, and more. 3.7 will get
bug fix updates
until shortly after 3.8 is released (in roughly 18 months) and then will
get security updates until mid-2023.
3.6 will continue to get bug fixes through the end of 2018 and security
fixes into 2021.
