News Python 3.15.1, 3.14.9 and 3.13.17 are now available Expedited security releases on October 21, carrying pip 26.2.2 and certifi 2026.10.19 to drop the compromised eMudhra CA. 3.13 is the odd one out: it had just entered security-only mode, where pip is not normally updated, so the team cut fresh installers anyway. 3.15.1 is also 3.15's first maintenance release, with roughly 330 fixes from 117 contributors. Information for Python users regarding the eMudhra / emSign CA certificate security …

Local speed up Local attribute access is now 2-3x faster. Local(...) now uses one of two internal specialisations, selected by thread_c…

How I decide which Python and Django versions I want to support A recent post on Mastodon got me thinking about what my philosophy for dropping support for old versions of Python and Django is. Here’s the post: 🚨 Important Announcement 🚨 Going forward all my packages will only “officially” support maintained #Python versions. Meaning since October only 3.14 and now 3.15. This has no effect on Django version support. CVEs will be backported to older 🐍 releases. – @codingjoe I tend to support v…

Django projects end up slotting into a bunch of software release cycles: Django itself, Python, database servers, cache servers, and more. It can be hard for us developers to keep track of all of them, with their different support policies and end-of-life dates, and running an unsupported version means missing …
