Bug 269813: lang/python3: Bug in all current python variants

--- Description ---
There is a bug in python that causes the python process to hang upon exiting.
I've spent 2 days with investigating, to arrive to the conclusion that it's
present in all current python variants.

The github issue about the bug is here:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/102126

I'm using python3.10.10, to which this fix will come out with the next release,
that is 3.10.11, around the beginning of April.

I've been hit severely by this bug on many of my servers, including CI and
production servers. In the meantime, I've downgraded to 3.10.9 from the source
manually, but it would be nice to get a hotfix release from 3.10.10 until the
next release will arrive with the bugfix.
