The `re` module in 3.11 will support "Atomic grouping and possessive quantifiers". I recently wrote a blog post about these features: https://learnbyexample.github.io/python-regex-possessive-qua...

How can Python 3.11 be 60% faster than 3.10?

If one is on the Python 3 train, is there any reason to not always be on the latest release?

Is it better about breaking changes than the 2 to 3 adventure was?

It starts with 2.1, so it misses quite a few changes.

If I recall correctly, 1.6 was when it started to get attention on mainstream with Zope and co.

Still, add the standard library changes as well, and there is plenty of inspiration for pub quizzes.

How come Python is still improving in so many ways after so many years, or what has kept them back for so long? These are not small improvements.

Not quite complete enough for my liking. 3.9 doesn't have any mention of zoneinfo.ZoneInfo for example.

Global interpreter lock, will it ever be removed?

Unrelated, but i wish there was a table of what version of each function was in each version of glibc. I would love to be able to answer a question like "if i compile on version X, and deploy on version Y, what functions will be missing or changed?".
