This is an old news because on the date Wednesday, April 6, 2022 the alpha version of the well-known python programming language was released.
The last Python 3.11 alpha (3.11.0a7) is available on this webpage.
I install and works good.
C:\Python311alpha>python.exe
Python 3.11.0a7 (main, Apr 5 2022, 21:27:39) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.Here are the new features and changes so far:

The Faster Cpython Project is already yielding some exciting results:
this version of CPython 3.11 is ~ 19% faster on the geometric mean of the PyPerformance benchmarks, compared to 3.10.0.It seems that the new changes are very different from the old versions and some are even effective.
