On behalf of the entire Python development community, and the currently serving
Python release team in particular, I’m pleased to announce the release of
Python 3.8.3, the third maintenance release of Python 3.8. You can find it here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-383/
<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-383/>
It contains two months worth of bug fixes. Detailed information about all
changes made in 3.8.3 can be found in its change log
<https://docs.python.org/release/3.8.3/whatsnew/changelog.html#python-3-8-3-final>.
Note that compared to 3.8.2, version 3.8.3 also contains the changes
introduced in 3.8.3rc1.
The Python 3.8 series is the newest feature release of the Python language, and
it contains many new features and optimizations. See the “What’s New in Python
3.8 <https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html>” document for more
information about features included in the 3.8 series.
Maintenance releases for the 3.8 series will continue at regular bi-monthly
intervals, with 3.8.4 planned for mid-July 2020.
One more thing
Unless blocked on any critical issue, Monday May 18th will be the release date
of Python 3.9.0 beta 1. It’s a special release for us because this is when we
lock the feature set for Python 3.9. If you can help testing the current
available alpha release, that would be very helpful:

We hope you enjoy the new Python release!
