Visualizing the CPython Release ProcessBelow are the high-level steps (with numbers corresponding to the above diagram) in the order they occur during the CPython release process: Freeze the python/cpython release branch. This is done using GitHub Branch Protections. Update the Release Manager's fork of python/cpython. Run Python release tools (release-tool, blurb, sphinx, etc). Push diffs and signed tag to Release Manager's fork. Git
