Announcing the immediate availability of Python 3.6.5 release candidate 1!

Python 3.6.5rc1 is the first release candidate for Python 3.6.5, the next
maintenance release of Python 3.6.  While 3.6.5rc1 is a preview release and,
thus, not intended for production environments, we encourage you to explore
it and provide feedback via the Python bug tracker (https://bugs.python.org).
3.6.5 is planned for final release on 2018-03-26 with the next maintenance
release expected to follow in about 3 months.  You can find Python 3.6.5rc1
and more information here:

Attention macOS users: as of 3.6.5rc1, there is a new additional installer
variant for macOS 10.9+ that includes a built-in version of Tcl/Tk 8.6.
This variant is expected to become the default variant in future releases.
Check it out!
