The full What's New is long by design, so this post is the shorter upgrade list I would check first: explicit lazy imports, UTF-8 as the default encoding, unpacking in comprehensions, the new profiling package with Tachyon, and frozendict. Each section stays short -- what changed, why it shows up in day-to-day work, and a small example where one helps. Lazy imports get a concrete beat from years of chasing import cost in the Open World Holidays Framework. Everything else worth planning around still lives in the official What's New and Porting guides.https://arkid15r.dev/psf-board-candidates-2026/Sat, 12 Sep 2026 11:53:44 -0700https://arkid15r.dev/psf-board-candidates-2026/The 2026 PSF Board election fills four seats under Approval Voting through September 15.
