After any major release of Python, users are typically encouraged to wait a few months before upgrading due to compatibility issues with existing packages.
The coordination of new releases often causes delays, as many Python packages rely on the volunteer efforts of maintainers, who might take time to update their libraries.
As of mid-September 2024, critical libraries like Polars and rust-numpy were still working on updates necessary for compatibility with Python 3.13.
Users should consider upgrading to Python 3.13 starting in December 2024, when more packages are likely to be compatible.
