Python 3.15.0 Is Here

Python 3.15.0 is the stable release of the 3.15 series, built from 5,643 commits by 1,012 contributors. Headline changes are explicit lazy imports (PEP 810), a frozendict built-in (PEP 814), a sentinel built-in (PEP 661) and UTF-8 as the default encoding (PEP 686).

The experimental JIT gets a 7 to 8 percent geometric-mean speedup on x86-64 Linux. A new profiling package with the Tachyon sampling profiler also lands, along with frame pointers by default (PEP 831) and a stable ABI for free-threaded builds.
