Python 2.7 has reached end of support
and will be deprecated
on January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy Python 2.7
applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to
re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing Python
2.7 applications will continue to run and receive traffic after their deprecation date
. We recommend that
you migrate to the latest supported version of Python
.
