Hey folks,
We had a Python Team BoF at DC22 earlier today and I thought relaying the
notes we took in gobby here would be a good idea.
Thanks for the notes, Louis-Philippe, and sorry I couldn't join you!
A few comments....

== python3.11 ==
python3.11 release has been delayed, from october 2022 to december 2022.
[...]
My 2 cents' worth is as the 3.9->3.10 transition took several months,
and was quite complicated, it is not wise to attempt the 3.10->3.11
before the freeze. We could then potentially go straight to 3.12 a
few months after the bookworm freeze rather than going to 3.11 first.
And that will probably be quite painful.
I agree, also because 3.10 wont be EOL before Bookworm becomes LTS.
However, it's quite tempting to upgrade to 3.11 because:
- our users will prefer having the latest stable release of Python in
our latest release, rather than an old version.
- 3.11 has many optimization (it's said to be 25% faster)
So if we can at least TRY, it's not a so bad idea... Hopefully, we can
take the decision to reverse if needed.
Cheers,
