• Enhanced Error Messages – Python’s interactive interpreter and error handling have leveled up, now with colorized tracebacks for easy debugging.
• Library Improvements – Expect a streamlined standard library, with several legacy modules officially removed (PEP 594).
• Improved Interactive Interpreter – Inspired by the PyPy project, the REPL now includes multiline editing, history browsing, and colorized prompts
