Hi everyone,

I am prepared to start the release process for Python 3.10 a5 but there are several

issues marked as release blockers that affect 3.10:

* https://bugs.python.org/issue38302

Although release blockers mainly apply to important releases, there are two are security issues and some

of the rest involve changes in bytecode or the tracing machinery, so I would prefer if these issues are addressed

before making a new release as many maintainers are waiting for the next alpha to test again the bugs that they

reported.

Please, if you are involved in any of these issues try to see if is possible to address them or if you think

is ok to release the alpha without a fix, please, drop me an email stating so.

Thanks,

Regards from cloudy London,
