Python 3.14 Finally Drops and Developers Call It Pi-thon

Description

A meme showing a man in lab goggles and a white coat examining a test tube with the word 'Finally' at the top. Overlaid is a tweet from Charlie Marsh (@charliermarsh) saying 'Python 3.14 stable dropped today! You can install it now with uv pyth...' (truncated). The bottom text reads 'pi-thon' (with the pi symbol). A watermark 'devme.me' is visible on the goggles. The joke is that Python version 3.14 matches the first digits of pi (3.14159...), making it 'pi-thon.'

Python 3.14 is the most irrational release yet -- infinite precision, never terminates, and you can never fully represent it in floating point

Great - now every legacy script that checks for major == 3 and minor < 14 has officially joined the Y2K hall of fame

After years of carefully orchestrating minor version releases, the Python steering committee finally achieved what we've all been waiting for: a version number that makes math professors smile and dependency resolution algorithms cry. Now we just need to survive until Python 2.71828 for the complete set

Python 3.14 finally gives us the mathematically correct pronunciation: π-thon. Now we just need to wait for version 2.718 so we can argue about whether it should be pronounced 'e-thon' or 'Euler-thon'. Meanwhile, UV's trying to make package installation so fast that by the time you finish typing `uv pyth`, it's already installed, deprecated, and replaced with a Rust rewrite

Python 3.14 - π‑thon: the only “minor” per PEP 440 that implies an infinite patch series; good thing uv is fast because those upgrades will never end

Great - uv installs 3.14 in seconds; now our CI matrix circles forever while half the C‑extensions argue about what cp314 even means

uv python delivers 3.14 stable faster than pip resolves deps - finally, a package manager that doesn't outlive your coffee break
@AmindaEU 10mo

oh, so are they now switching to date based release number which required getting to 3.14 first?
@SamsonovAnton 10mo

So they also had Python 3.11 for Workgroups, I suppose?

UV is so fast, I'm glad I found it after... 4 years of being a Python developer
1. @TERASKULL 10mo
  
  well it is relatively new and still in beta with active development, so you didn't miss much
  
  @nyxiereal 10mo
  
  Well I'm an arch user
  
  @cyberoctopuss 10mo
  
  No, you're just a mere impostor. You didn't specify it's a BTW edition. No true arch user would omit that.

  Exactly! My experience with managing my project dependency, creating venv and.... Got a lot better
