When should you upgrade to Python 3.11?
Python 3.11 is out now–but should you switch to it immediately? And if you shouldn’t upgrade just yet, when should you?
The short answer is that, no, you probably don’t want to switch immediately; quite possibly you can’t switch immediately. To understand why, we need to consider Python packaging, the software development process, and take a look at the history of past releases.
We can then make a guess about when Python 3.11 will actually be usable.

Python team wraps version 3.11.0 • The Register
Python 3.11.0, the latest iteration of the exceedingly popular programming language, debuted on Monday, to the delight of software developers who care about such things.
"In the CPython release team, we have put a lot of effort into making 3.11 the best version of Python possible," said Pablo Galindo Salgado, a Python steering council member, via Twitter. "Better tracebacks, faster Python, exception groups and except*, typing improvements and much more."
The marquee feature of v3.11.0 is pure speed, something Python has historically (sometimes unjustly) accused of lacking.
"Python 3.11 is up to 10-60 percent faster than Python 3.10," said Salgado, and fellow release team members Ned Deily and Steve Dower, in the release announcement. "On average, we measured a 1.22x speedup on the standard benchmark suite."
