When’s Pi-thon supposed to release? Next year? 2026?

Next year. It’s a yearly release cadence.

Also, 3.14 will be the last one in this version numbering scheme. The one after that will be 3.26.

oh no…

It’s still a draft, but that’s just a weirdly unnecessary change, IMO. There is no need from anyone to have the versions shift by 11 versions.

The response at PyCon and EuroPython was pretty favorable, and a lot of core devs seem into it. This is definitely gonna happen unless something big comes up.

There was still a bit of discussion about the exact form (3.26 vs 3.2026 etc), but that is handled and I expect it to be on the standards track soon.

That’s such a stupid change. TIL, though. Thanks for the heads up!

Aside from the other comment, just a heads up that Python switched to yearly releases

3.13 was released Oct 24, 3.12 was released Oct 23, so Oct 25 makes sense for 3.14

Maybe someday they’ll switch to calendar versioning ;p
