Python 3.12.2 and 3.11.8 are now available. In addition to all the usual bugfixes, these releases contain a small security fix: hidden .pth files are no longer automatically read and executed as part of Python startup. (New releases of 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 containing the same fix are expected next week.)

 

Python 3.12’s second bugfix release. In addition to the mentioned
security fix and the usual slew of bug fixes, build changes and
documentation updates (more than 350 commits), this is also the first
release to include a Software Bill-of-Materials for the source packages (Python-3.12.2.tgz and Python-3.12.2.tar.xz). Full changelog.

 

More than 300 commits of bug fixes, build changes and documentation updates. Full changelog.

 

Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development
and these releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by
volunteering yourself, or through contributions to the Python Software Foundation or CPython itself.
