Hello Pythonistas,
Python 3.13 has an experimental JIT compiler:
https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler
Enabling it is a configure (hence build-time) option.
How do we handle this in Fedora?
- We can keep it disabled, as it is experimental.
- We can enable it, but be ready to revert if it causes problems.
- We can add yet another build variant, but we already have 4 of those
(regular, debug, freethreading, freethreading-debug), so I'd rather not make it 6 (or 8, if we include freethreading+jit combinations). I don't know yet if it would be co-installable.
Opinions?
o/, what about leaving it on in rawhide and reevaluating readiness for a proper release around f42 branching based on how many bleeding (edge) kittens did it eat?
