Hello, There are spurious CI failures (SSL certificate issue in test_httplib). Therefore the "Squash and merge" button is greyed out. How should I merge? Using the command-line instructions from Github? Regards Antoine.

[RELEASE] Python 3.8.0a4 is now available for testing
by Łukasz Langa May 7, 2019

May 7, 2019

It's time for the LAST alpha of Python 3.8.0. Go get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380a4/ <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380a4/> Python 3.8.0a4 is the fourth and final alpha release of Python 3.8, the next feature release of Python. During the alpha phase, Python 3.8 remains under heavy development: additional features will be added and existing features may be modified or deleted. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments. The first beta release, 3.8.0b1, is planned for 2019-05-31. The release has slipped a week because of me being overwhelmed with PyCon US this year. There was also a release blocker and a breaking change to ElementTree. Anyway, sorry for the wait! I moved the planned date of beta1 a few days to make up for it. If you have a feature you're working on and you'd like to see it in 3.8.0, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. Please don't wait until May 30th, get a proper review and land your change as soon as possible. Q: Can I get my feature in after that date if I ask nicely? A: Yes, of course. I will release it in Python 3.9. - Ł

Hello, During the PyCon sprints, I mentored Anthony Shaw (from Real Python) on triaging bug issues and GitHub pull requests. I will continue to mentor him, but to help him have the greatest impact, he has been given the triage bit. Congratulations Anthony! Cheryl Sabella

Vote on changes to PEP 13 to specify voting time frames
by Brett Cannon May 1, 2019

May 1, 2019

https://discuss.python.org/t/vote-on-pep-13-change-to-specify-voting-time-f… Summary: one week to vote for new core devs, two weeks for PEP 13 changes (which is how long I set the vote on Discourse to be open for). This change is approved by the steering council. And as a reminder, changes to PEP 13 require a 2/3 approval by voters.
