Detailed description of the issue
Python 3.13.10 was released toward end of November 2025, with 3.13.11 following on December 5th. To let people contribute to NVDA using latest available Python release, let us upgrade to Python 3.13.11 in time for 2026.1 beta 1 or in 2026.2.
Why are the other templates not appropriate in this case?
This issue concerns a fundamental dependency for NVDA. A new feature request suggesting a Python upgrade would be clearer for other dependencies. However, as a Python-based screen reader, upgrading Python is a special case and should be done continuously as long as a given Python version is receiving maintenane releases.

Additional information (if applicable)
I suggest upgrading to Python 3.13.11 in time for 2026.1 beta 1 because this is the latest Pthon release as of time of this issue. However, if NV Access and the community thinks delaying Python upgrade to 2026.2 is warranted, then we could revisit this issue and update the issue title to state a later Python release while 2026.2 is under active development.
