[RELEASE] Python 3.10.0rc1 is available

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

Hi,

Unfortunately, due to a problem that I was not aware of caused by
https://bugs.python.org/issue44756, the
release artifacts for Linux contained a "venv" folder in the "Docs"
directory.

I have uploaded a new version of the artifacts that fixed this problem and
I have corrected this for future
releases.

If you had any problem building docs with the previous release artifacts
for 3.10.0rc1, please try again.

Regards from cloudy London,

Your friendly release team,
