Python — and things like Micropython — have the same kind of division. Python started as a scripting language, but it has added object features, allowing a rich set of tools for scripters to use.

Official support for free-threaded Python, an experimental JIT, and a smarter installation manager for Windows are among the goodies in Python 3.14. Now in a release candidate.

Python 3.14 has a new feature called the template string, or t-string, type. A t-string superficially resembles an f-string, but it’s designed to do something very different.
