  1. @ambv One of the symptoms of installing multiple #Python versions on my #Ubuntu #Linux system is dependency errors. I have installed your #Python312 interpreter, which is unable to be configured (the other #Deadsnakes installations have succeeded).

  2. I just released #Python 3.11.7 on #deadsnakes, and Anthony Sottile released 3.12.1 and 3.13.0a2.

    Yeah, from now on, I'll be helping him get the releases out as part of the regular CPython release process.

    You can generally safely use the "deadsnakes" ppa/repo to install alternate Pythons, even though they're primarily an Ubuntu thing.

    One caution, which bit me when #Debian 12 was released - before doing a major Debian upgrade that bumps the default Python to one you have installed from #deadsnakes, remove the deadsnakes version first. I got ... interesting breakage that took me a bit to figure out the right fix for.

    #Lesson learned; perhaps this will save someone else some time.

    If you have #Python 3.11 installed on Bullseye from the "#deadsnakes" ppa, uninstall it before attempting the upgrade. It conflicts with the Python 3.11 package in Bookworm in a way that causes the upgrade to #fail partway through. Then you have to manually fix it all...
