Highlights include lazy imports (a new `lazy` keyword for deferred module loading to improve startup time and memory), frozen dicts, colorized standard library output, and a new sampling profiler called 'profiling' with async support and up to 1 million samples per second. The council also discussed the Developer in Residence program (currently with a vacancy after Łukasz Langa moved to Meta), annual core sprints (next hosted by OpenAI), and how they maintain independence from their employers. Python 3.15 beta 3 is available now, with RC1 in August and final release in October. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
