Python 3.12 is out! It includes new features and performance improvements – some contributed by Meta – that we believe will benefit all Python users. We’re sharing details about these new features that we worked closely with the Python community to develop. This week’s release of Python 3.12 marks a milestone in our efforts to make our work developing and scaling Python for Meta’s use cases more accessible to the broader Python community.

As a frequent reviewer of data and strategy books, I am always interested in understanding authors’ perspectives on data governance. Two recent books have ideas that are worthy of data governance professionals: “Rewired” by Eric Lamarre, Kate Smaje, and Rodney W. Zemmel; and “Data Is Everybody’s Business” by Barbara H.
