Python is an ever-evolving language, and these basic terms will help you understand some of what's out there. However, these terms aren't all you need to know to fully grasp the language.

The latest releases of Python are versions 3.8.13, 3.9.13 and 3.10.5. Python 3.11 is currently in beta, with beta 3 released at the beginning of June 2022, and is due to be released in October 2022.
