Cloud Client Libraries for Python are compatible with all current
active
and
maintenance
versions of Python. For more information about Cloud Client Libraries, see
Client libraries explained.
To see currently supported Python versions, see Supported Versions.
For new development
New feature development uses the current
active
and
maintenance
versions of Python.
Keeping production systems current
Keeping your production systems on supported Python versions is the best way to
ensure that you receive critical security and bug fixes. For new applications,
it is recommended that you use the newest actively supported version.
After a Python version goes
end-of-life,
the version is no longer supported and does not receive critical updates. If you
are using an
end-of-life
version of Python, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an
actively supported version.
Legacy support
Cloud Client Libraries for Python support legacy versions of Python runtimes on
a best effort basis. When possible, critical patches and bug fixes might be
released for prior major Python versions.
Where to find version information
