techlogan/python-beta

A build of Python beta software for testing purposes.

The purpose of this project is to facilitate install of python beta software and will run on Fedora among other Linux OSs (see below) along side the built-in python. The source code herein is unaltered and provided 'as-is' so as to run in the manner the Python Software Foundation created it to run. Any glitches or flaws in the way the software is written may be identified and corrected later in the beta phase. This software is not recommended for production environments but rather for initial feature testing and python software development purposes. All of the features and compilable modules for the particular beta versions of python present in this repository should be in one of the contained packages.

This repository contains compiled python beta software packaged as rpm files for install with the dnf package manager. The most recent version currently is python 3.15.0b4.

For python 3.15 beta: The source code which (first beta version available as of May 7, 2026) is bundled in several sub packages which, for python 3.15 include python3.15, python-3.15-libs, python3.15-devel, python3.15-doc, python3.15-idle, python3.15-pip, python3.15-pip-wheel, python3.15-tkinter, python3.15-test, and python3.15-venv

The packages in this repository is unaltered source code for python beta (obtained from www.python.org) was bundled with some standard Linux .desktop application launchers and the builds of python 3.15.0 all contain devhelp files. The software here has been compiled as an altinstall so an installation of python 3.15 may be installed alongside any version of python other than 3.15.x.
