Python 3.14 Beta 2 was released recently, with the official release planned for October 07, 2025, and will be supported until 2030.
New features of Python 3.14 include deferred evaluation of annotations, t-strings, new module compression.zstd, and syntax highlighting in PyREPL.
To install Python 3.14 on Ubuntu, you can either use a PPA or compile from the source code.
For PPA installation, add the Deadsnakes PPA and run 'sudo apt install python3.14' to install Python 3.14 or python3.14-full to include Tkinter IDE.
To compile from source, download the source tarball, install dependencies, configure, compile, and install Python 3.14.
It's not advisable to set non-pre-installed Python as default, but you can do so by managing alternatives using the 'update-alternatives' command.
Using virtual environments for Python 3.14 installation is recommended to avoid conflicts with system packages, especially with the introduction of PEP 668.
To uninstall Python 3.14, simply remove it using 'sudo apt remove --autoremove python3.14' for PPA installation or manually delete the installed files for source-built Python.
