There seems to be at least one security issue with the current version of Python 3.8 in Bionic, which is still 3.8.0.
See: What’s New In Python 3.8 — Python 3.8.6 documentation https://docs.python.org/release/3.8.6/whatsnew/3.8.html I.e.: Notable changes in Python 3.8.1 Due to significant security concerns, the reuse_address parameter of asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint() is no longer supported. This is because of the behavior of the socket option SO_REUSEADDR in UDP. For more details, see the documentation for loop.create_ So thanks for putting this together, and I hope it is accepted soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866859 Title: SRU: backport Python 3.6.12, 3.7.9 and 3.8.6 to bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/+bug/1866859/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
