Fedora 40: python3.10 2024-1a493abc67 Security Advisory Updates
Summary
Python 3.10 is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted
programming language, designed with an emphasis on code readability.
It includes an extensive standard library, and has a vast ecosystem of
third-party libraries.
The python3.10 package provides the "python3.10" executable: the reference
interpreter for the Python language, version 3.
The majority of its standard library is provided in the python3.10-libs package,
which should be installed automatically along with python3.10.
The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken out into the
python3.10-tkinter and python3.10-test packages, which may need to be installed
separately.
Documentation for Python is provided in the python3.10-docs package.
Packages containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with
the "python3.10-" prefix.
