Python 3.9.7

Get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-397/ = <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-397/>
Python 3.9.7 is the newest major stable release of the Python =
programming language, and it contains many new features and =
optimizations. There=E2=80=99s been 187 commits since 3.9.6 which is a = similar amount compared to 3.8 at the same stage of the release cycle. =
See the change log = <https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.7/whatsnew/changelog.html> for =
details.

On macOS, we encourage you to use the universal2 binary installer =
variant whenever possible. The legacy 10.9+ Intel-only variant will not =
be provided for Python 3.10 and the universal2 variant will become the = default download for 3.9.8. You may need to upgrade third-party =
components, like pip, to later versions. You may experience differences =
in behavior in IDLE and other Tk-based applications due to using the =
newer version of Tk. As always, if you encounter problems when using =
this installer variant, please check https://bugs.python.org = <https://bugs.python.org/> for existing reports and for opening new =
issues.

The next Python 3.9 maintenance release will be 3.9.8, currently =
scheduled for 2021-11-01.

Get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3812/ = <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3812/>
Security content in this release contains four fixes. There are also =
four additional fixes for bugs that might have lead to denial-of-service = attacks. Finally, while we=E2=80=99re not providing binary installers = anymore, for those users who produce installers, we upgraded the OpenSSL = version used to 1.1.1l. Take a look at the change log = <https://docs.python.org/release/3.8.12/whatsnew/changelog.html> for =
details.

According to the release calendar specified in PEP 569 = <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/>, Python 3.8 is now in = =E2=80=9Csecurity fixes only=E2=80=9D stage of its life cycle: 3.8 =
branch only accepts security fixes and releases of those are made =
irregularly in source-only form until October 2024. Python 3.8 isn=E2=80=99=
t receiving regular bug fixes anymore, and binary installers are no =
longer provided for it. Python 3.8.10 was the last full bugfix release =
of Python 3.8 with binary installers.

<https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-9-7-and-3-8-12-now-available/10401#= security-releases-of-3712-and-3615-3>Security releases of 3.7.12 and =
3.6.15

Those aren=E2=80=99t ready just yet but are soon to follow.

Similarly to 3.8, Python 3.7 and 3.6 are now in =E2=80=9Csecurity fixes = only=E2=80=9D stage of their life cycle. Python 3.7 will be providing =
source archives until June 2023 while Python 3.6 ends its life in =
