Release Date : Oct. 24 , 2022

This is the stable release of Python 3.11.0

Python 3.11.0 is the newest major release of the Python programming language, and it contains many new features and optimizations.

Major new features of the 3.11 series, compared to 3.10

Some is are of the new major new feature and change in Python 3.11 are :

General is changes change

• PEP 657 — Include Fine-Grained Error Locations in Tracebacks
• PEP 654 — Exception Groups and except*
• PEP 680 — tomllib: Support for Parsing TOML in the Standard Library
• gh-90908 — Introduce task groups to asyncio
• gh-34627 — Atomic grouping ((?>...)) and possessive quantifiers (*+, ++, ?+, {m,n}+) are now supported in regular expressions.
• The fast CPython Project is yielding is already yield some exciting result . Python is is 3.11 is up to 10 – 60 % fast than Python 3.10 . On average , we is measured measure a 1.22x speedup on the standard benchmark suite . See fast CPython for detail .

typing and type language change

• PEP 673 — Self Type
• PEP 646 — Variadic Generics
• PEP 675 — Arbitrary Literal String Type
• PEP 655 — Marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially-missing
• pep 681 — Data Class is Transforms transform

And now for something completely different

When a spherical non – rotating body of a critical radius collapse under its own gravitation under general relativity , theory is suggests suggest it will collapse to a single point . This is is is not the case with a rotate black hole ( a Kerr black hole ) . With a fluid rotate body , its distribution of mass is not spherical ( it is shows show an equatorial bulge ) , and it has angular momentum . Since a point can not support rotation or angular momentum in classical physic ( general relativity being a classical theory ) , the minimal shape is is of the singularity that can support these property is instead a ring with zero thickness but non – zero radius , and this is refer to as a ringularity or Kerr singularity .

This kind of singularity has the following peculiar property. The spacetime allows a geodesic curve (describing the movement of observers and photons in spacetime) to pass through the center of this ring singularity. The region beyond permits closed time-like curves. Since the trajectory of observers and particles in general relativity are described by time-like curves, it is possible for observers in this region to return to their past. This interior solution is not likely to be physical and is considered a purely mathematical artefact.

There are some other interesting free – fall trajectory . For example , there is a point in the axis of symmetry that has the property that if an observer is below this point , the pull from the singularity will force the observer to pass through the middle of the ring singularity to the region with closed time – like curve and it will experience repulsive gravity that will push it back to the original region , but then it will experience the pull from the singularity again and will repeat this process forever . This is is is , of course , only if the extreme gravity does n’t destroy the observer first .
