Python 3.11.0a4 is blocked
Hi everyone, I am writing this to notify you that unfortunately the release of 3.11.0a4 is blocked as there are a bunch of release blockers (some of them affect Python 3.10): https://bugs.python.org/issue46263 https://bugs.python.org/issue46208 https://bugs.python.org/issue46006 https://bugs.python.org/issue43683 If this was a single release blocker I would think about moving forward but unfortunately, there are several of them and one of them is that Python fails to compile FreeBSD, so I am halting the release until these are fixed.

Hi Pablo, Issue 43683 should not have been marked as a release blocker, as it is a performance issue, not a bug. The related bug (which was a release blocker) is https://bugs.python.org/issue46009, and was fixed a while ago. Cheers, Mark. On 04/01/2022 11:12 pm, Pablo Galindo Salgado wrote:

Hi everyone, An update on this. Unfortunately, we are still blocked. Some of the blockers have been fixed (thanks to everyone involved) but the following are still pending: * https://bugs.python.org/issue46208 This issue has a PR being reviewed but the fix is still not merged. * https://bugs.python.org/issue46006 Victor made a revert of his PR but unfortunately, we cannot easily backport it to 3.10 as it affects the ABI. It affects the interpreter state structure that although is not on the stable ABI, changing it can affect some projects so we need to discuss how we want to proceed as a project here. * https://bugs.python.org/issue46263 One of the FreeBSD issues has been fixed (thanks Christian) but another issue has been unveiled (some problem in test_capi) and the other one still lingers (test_embed failing due to freezing modules). Thanks for all your help, Kind regards from cloudy London, Pablo Galindo Salgado On Tue, 4 Jan 2022 at 23:12, Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, the regression is fixed in the main branch, so Python 3.11.0a4 should be unblocked for this issue. I updated my backport to 3.10 to fix the ABI issue. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
