Mikey SklarGuestSo Community News is a preview or just a taster of our CircuitPython Community Run newsletter.
This goes out every Monday and there's just a couple items I picked out from the newsletter that I wanted to highlight in today's meeting.
First is that Python 3.15 was released on Friday.
This is the Python that you run on your desktop.
It's out now.
The experimental JIT compiler runs 7% to 12% faster, and they also have two new built-in types, Sentinel and FrozenDict, which I think is interesting as well.
The PSF, the Python Software Foundation, also sent out a newsletter that included both board psf board and python packaging council election results and strategic plan information and pi pi security it says the python software foundation october newsletter announces the results of two september elections first is the python packaging council which is newly established and folks on there are brett cannon pradyun gadam donald stuffed stuffed Henry Schreiner and Ralph Gomers.
Sorry in advance for or after the fact for mispronouncing that.
The four seats on the PSF board are being held by Elaine Wong, Lise Carvalho, Yi Durbin, and Georgie Kerr.
The newsletter also introduces the PSF's 2026 to 2031 strategic plan and an update on security work, including PyPI.
I'm sure they're busy with this new LLM world.
So those are just two items from our newsletter.
The Python and Microcontrollers Weekly Newsletter is a CircuitPython community-run newsletter emailed every Monday.
The complete archives are available at adafruitdaily.com slash category slash CircuitPython.
It highlights the latest Python on hardware-related news from around the web, including CircuitPython, Python, and MicroPython developments.
