Python end-of-life — frequently asked
What Python versions are still supported?
As of June 2026, these Python release lines still receive security updates: 3.14, 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.10. The latest supported release is 3.14.6. Versions older than these (3.9, 3.8, 3.7, 3.6, 3.5, 2.7, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 2.6, 3.1, 3.0) are end-of-life and no longer patched.
When does Python 3.10 reach end of life?
Python 3.10 reaches end-of-life on 31 Oct 2026 — about 4 months away. After that date it stops receiving security patches.
Is Python end-of-life?
No — Python still has supported release lines (3.14, 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.10). But individual older versions are end-of-life, so what matters is the specific version you run.
How do I know when my Python version reaches end of life?
Check the version you run on its product page, or monitor Python on IsItPatched to get an email alert before the release line you use reaches end-of-life — so you can upgrade in time.
