Ubuntu
python3.11 package

Will python3.11 be updated? 3.11.7 is out but version 3.11.0rc1 is currently shipped.

Asked by sedrubal

I'm wondering, why the official ubuntu python3.11 package is not updated. Currently 3.11.0rc1 is shipped, but the latest python version is 3.11.7. I think it is not good to use release candidates when there are stable versions available. I want to avoid using the deadsnakes ppa.

I'm ok with this answer. However, if you do python development and you have to work with a project, that requires python >= 3.11, some software, like python-poetry won't accept python 3.11.0rc1 to fulfill the requirement.
