Python 3.14 release candidate 1 is go!

It’s the first 3.14 release candidate! https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140rc1/ This is the first release candidate of Python 3.14 This release, 3.14.0rc1 , is the penultimate release preview. Entering the release candidate phase, only reviewed code changes which are clear bug fixes are allowed between this release candidate and the final release. The second candidate (and the last planned release preview) is scheduled for Tuesday, 2025-08-26, while the official release of 3.14.0 is scheduled for Tuesday, 2025-10-07. There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.14 series, and the goal is that there will be as few code changes as possible. Call to action We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.14 during this phase, and where necessary publish Python 3.14 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.14.0, and to help other projects do their own testing. Any binary wheels built against Pytho
