Python 3 is coming soon. It's scheduled for release at the end of October 2019, and you can

already download test versions today. Given that Python ships on an 18-month cycle, it's time

to talk about what's coming for us Python developers in the fall. On this episode, I meet up with

Lucas Langa and Anthony Shaw to chat about the highlights of this upcoming version of Python.

Also, quick show note, we recorded this on location in Cleveland at Pycon 2019.

There may be a small amount of background noise, but I think you'll barely notice.

This is Talk Python to Me.

Episode 214 recorded May 5th, 2019.
