Pre-Pitch: Python 3.8.0a1 is available for Python developers

[Miro Hrončok]

Hi,

we now have a package with Python 3.8 first alpha. I'd like to spread the word.

tl;dr:

- dnf install python38  # or python3.8
  - as more alphas and betas are released upstream, the package gets updated
  - if you are a Python developer, test your project with tox on 3.8 early
    (don't wait for Fedora 31)
  - the (controversial) walrus operator is already available (:=)

Let me know if this makes sense for the magazine or if I shall bother social 
media list instead. Thanks.

This seems like an OK article for me, as we've been trying to target
Python developers for quite a few articles. Anyone disagree?

Draft: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=25128&preview=true&preview_id=25128

I've clicked *Submit for review*, yet there was no clear response form 
wordpress, so I'm not sure if I need to do anything else.

BTW I've now realized that the "builtin venv module, tox" link is brekon into 
pieces by the <em> bit (I blame the WYSIWYG editor).
