Possibly. I have not tried it but it will be up to the devs to increment the Python version. I thought that would have been done as linuxcnc 2.9.4 is in Debian 13 natively.

M3 S10000 ; works, spindle starts and spins up
M5 ; works, spindle stops
G53 G1 F4000 Z-10 ; Spindle does not move and GCode interpreter seems to be hung!

Is spindle-at-speed true? if not, pretty sure this will hang waiting for spindle-at-speed to be true.

One advantage, If you have step/dir servos, returning the position information to LinuxCNC
allows LinuxCNC to monitor the actual following error during operation.

DELETED as i missed a crucial point so my reply was not correct.

OK, so an update on this issue.
Tonight I had some time to isolate where the problem is happening, and I can bring it down to just a couple of commands.

I start up Linux CNC, toggle the CNC on and home it, this is my start point.

Now in the MDI window I type the following

G53 G1 F4000 Z-10 ; This works, carriage moves down 
G53 G1 F4000 Z0 ; This works, carriage moves up 

I can repeat the above multiple times, the carriage moves up and down as expected.

BUT, if I type the following (either after typing the above or after a clean start)

M3 S10000 ; works, spindle starts and spins up
M5 ; works, spindle stops
G53 G1 F4000 Z-10 ; Spindle does not move and GCode interpreter seems to be hung!

On the console I see the following output 

mdi_execute_hook: MDI command 'M5' done (remaining: 0)

I've attached the full console output from the linuxcnc command
