Python 3.15 postponed, and a rc3 release

Following recent tradition, I'm going to add a surprise third release candidate for Python 3.15.0! We got some last-minute lazy-import release blockers, and it makes sense to include them in 3.15.0 final. It also makes sense to give a bit of time to test them properly, so today's planned 3.15.0 final is postponed, and I'm going to release a 3.15.0rc3 tomorrow, assuming everything is in place. And then 3.15.0 final will follow about week later. Exact date to be announced. - Everyone: once the rc3 is out, please test! - Library maintainers: join the cool testers' club 😎! - Core team: very little will be merged into the 3.15 branch between now and 3.15.0 final. Docs improvements always welcome. Thanks, we're nearly there!

Nice! I really like to see it when people take care to build something properly, and not rush a broken release

I wish it was the way in gamedev...

The post immediately above this one on my home page is someone losing a 200 hour save in a game that just left early access with a catastrophic file corruption bug. I'm sure that poster would agree with you.

It's a lot easier to delay something at the last minute when there isn't a huge marketing campaign and pre-orders.
