The implementation in CPython was merged in 16 Apr and a new beta was released on 8 May (which I suppose includes the changes). Maybe we can start to consider merging now. There is a backport planned for 3.12, but I think if we try to consider it, it may make conditions more difficult: python/cpython#117917. |
