Python 3.16 preparation work begins in open-source math project

Original: #Python 3.16 preparations are starting github.com/passagemath/... #OpenSource #Mathematics #SageMath RE: https://bsky.ap

Developers behind passagemath, a project tied to the SageMath mathematics software ecosystem, have opened a pull request beginning preparations for Python 3.16, even as current releases target earlier versions of the language. The early start reflects the long lead time needed to keep large scientific Python libraries compatible with upcoming interpreter changes.

Why now: Early preparation for a future Python release matters to the open-source community tracking language evolution and compatibility.
