Meanwhile, Python 3.8 reaches its end-of-life, and DjangoCon US 2024 featured keynotes and developer talks.

    Django and the Python 3.13 REPL

    Discover how to integrate the new Python 3.13 REPL into your Django project despite the default shell showing the old Python REPL. Learn about a workaround solution using the `_pyrepl` package, while also understanding the stability trade-offs. The Django `shell` command can be customized to try different REPLs in sequence, including IPython, bpython, and the new Python 3.13 REPL, falling back to the old one if needed.
