Cloud Composer 1 is in the post-maintenance mode. Google does not release any further updates to Cloud Composer 1, including new versions of Airflow, bugfixes, and security updates. We recommend planning migration to Cloud Composer 2.

Cloud Composer supports Python 3.
To see the major.minor.patch versions of Python 3 used in a
specific Cloud Composer image, see
Cloud Composer version list.
After an environment is created, you cannot switch an existing
environment to a different minor Python version.
Python 2 support in Cloud Composer 1
Support for Python 2 was deprecated in Cloud Composer
version 1.19.0:
Starting from version 1.19.0, it is not possible to create new environments
with Python 2, or upgrade existing environments with Python 2 to 1.19.0
and later versions of Cloud Composer.
Starting from version 1.19.6, it is no longer possible to use any operators
that call Python 2. In particular, PythonVirtualenvOperator can no
longer create virtual environments with Python 2.
Existing environments with Python 2 are not impacted by this change. It is
possible to upgrade such environments to Cloud Composer version 1.18.12
and earlier through gcloud CLI, API, and Terraform.
New Airflow operators, sensors, and hooks are only developed for
Python 3, which may cause connectivity options to be outdated for Python 2
environments. As such, we highly recommend migrating your DAGs to a
Python 3 environment, and creating all new environments with Python 3.
