Get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3911/ <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3911/> This is the penultimate planned full bugfix release of Python 3.9. In mid-May, we’ll be releasing the last one, after which the 3.9 series will enter its security-only fixes period. More details in PEP 596 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0596/>.
Python 3.9 is the first Python version since 2.7 to have a regular bugfix release larger than “.10”. It’s also still a significant release at 163 commits since 3.9.10. That’s in fact 30+ commits more than between 3.9.9 and 3.9.10. The change log <https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.11/whatsnew/changelog.html> isn’t as long as the 3.10.3 one but it’s still pretty extensive!
As a reminder, on macOS, the default installer is now the new universal2 variant. It’s compatible with Mac OS X 10.9 and newer, including macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 12 Monterey. Python installed with this variant will work natively on Apple Silicon processors.
