Python 3.12.5 addresses numerous issues within its standard library, core runtime, and security parameters with over 250 enhancements since the June update, reinforcing stability and performance.
This release showcases critical upgrades across various modules within the standard library, including improved error handling mechanics and resolved crashes in SSL, enhancing overall stability.
Significant security improvements include the addition of missing audit events for interactive use and enhanced socket connection authentication for platforms lacking Unix IPC support.
With pip 24.2, Python now defaults to using system certificates, improving package management security, alongside the deprecation of legacy editable installations for a more secure future.
