There seems to be at least one security issue with the current version of Python 3.8 in Bionic, which is still 3.8.0.

See: What’s New In Python 3.8 — Python 3.8.6 documentation

I.e.: Notable changes in Python 3.8.1
 Due to significant security concerns, the reuse_address parameter of
 asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint() is no longer supported. This is because of the behavior of
 the socket option SO_REUSEADDR in UDP. For more details, see the documentation for loop.create_

So thanks for putting this together, and I hope it is accepted soon.
