F-strings with superpowers: What’s new in Python 3.14 beta

1 week ago | infoworld.com | Serdar Yegulalp

Are you ready for Python Pi? The 3.14 beta is out now, and we’ve got the rundown on what’s so great about it, including the new template strings feature, or “f-strings with superpowers.” You can also learn how to deploy Python (and other languages) to WebAssembly, get started with uv (the little Rust-powered Python tool that could), and take a one-year lookback at the free-threaded version of Python. Yep, it’s already been a year.
New Python projects to watch and try

Get a first look at the new Python Installation Manager for Windows, or try your hand at developing AI agents with Google’s Agent Development Kit for Python, or check out template strings in Python 3.14. Would you rather debate virtual threads in Python, or catch up on the May 2025 Python Language Summit? We’ve got that, too. It’s all here (and more) in this week’s Python Report.

Understand Python’s new lock file formatLock files for tracking Python dependencies used to come only from third-party tools. Now Python has its own native lock file format. See how it shapes up against the existing ad hoc standards How to boost Python program performance with ZigZig is being touted as the next big thing for C-style programming. Because Zig exposes a C-like interface, you can wrap Zig in Python and get speed and convenience together.
Get started with the new Python Installation Manager

Python is a first-class citizen on Microsoft Windows. That means you can install and remove the Python interpreter like any other application, and run multiple versions of the interpreter side-by-side using the py tool. But there’s been one long-standing weakness: While you have a central way to select which of your installed versions of Python to use for a given task, you can’t actually manage the installed versions.
New to Rust? Don’t make these common mistakes

3 weeks ago | infoworld.com | Serdar Yegulalp

For instance, older editions of Rust had a macro named try!, which was used for unwrapping a result and propagating any errors that might be returned. It’s since been superseded by , which is a native piece of Rust syntax and not a macro. But if you rely on older documentation, you might run into examples featuring try! or other outdated concepts as if they were current. Any Rust documentation older than two years might already be getting bewhiskered, so check the dates.
What is Markdown? Lightweight text formatting for human beings

1 month ago | infoworld.com | Serdar Yegulalp

Blogging and text posting in general remain popular applications for Markdown. Messaging systems like Discord and Slack use Markdown (with some gratuitous changes) to allow users to post rich, annotated text or include links or images. A common use case for Markdown is project documentation. A simple README.md is easy to assemble with Markdown, and the standard supports more than enough formatting syntax for such a job.
How to use template strings in Python 3.14

1 month ago | infoworld.com | Serdar Yegulalp

The familiar formatted string, or f-string, feature in Python provides a convenient way to print variables as part of a string. But it doesn’t let you interact with the way strings are created from those variables. It’s hard, if not impossible, to do things like inspect each variable as it’s inserted into the string and take some action based on what it is. Python 3.14 has a new feature called the template string, or t-string, type.

The Python configuration C API provides a C API to let users set or get information about the current configuration of the Python interpreter, using Python objects rather than C structures. This way, the interpreter can be configured directly from Python itself, making it easier to write Python-level tools to make runtime changes to interpreter behavior. The Python configuration C API is part of a general cleanup of CPython internals and APIs, including the APIs for how CPython is initialized.
How to gracefully migrate your JavaScript programs to TypeScript

1 month ago | infoworld.com | Serdar Yegulalp

TypeScript is a variant of JavaScript that provides strong type information, a powerful development tool that minimizes bugs and makes JavaScript programs easier to build in enterprise settings. TypeScript runs wherever JavaScript does and compiles to JavaScript itself. And, any existing JavaScript program is already valid TypeScript, just without the type information TypeScript provides.
