Python 3.13.0

Python 3.13.0 was officially released on October 7, 2024, introducing several new features and optimizations over the previous version, 3.12. Key enhancements include an improved interactive interpreter with multi-line editing and color support, an experimental free-threaded build mode that allows for concurrent thread execution, and a preliminary Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation feature aimed at boosting performance. The locals() function now has clearer semantics for mutating returned mappings, and a modified version of the mimalloc memory allocator is included by default if supported. Additionally, docstrings have reduced memory usage due to stripped leading indentation, and the dbm module now defaults to using a new SQLite backend. The minimum supported macOS version has been raised to 10.13, while iOS and Android are now classified as Tier 3 supported platforms. Several deprecated modules and features have been removed, in line with PEP 594, and new type annotations have been introduced to enhance type checking. For further details, users can refer to the official documentation and changelog.
