Python version support policy

Python version support policy#

OpenFL extends the Python scientific community’s SPEC-0 recommendation of 36 months of support for Python versions, by 6 more months. This is in-line with NumPy, for which NEP-29 has been very successful.

This translates to the following support policy:

  • Python3.10 was released in October 2021, and will be supported by OpenFL at least until April 2025.

  • Python3.11 was released in October 2022, and will be supported by OpenFL at least until April 2026.

  • Python3.12 was released in October 2023, and will be supported by OpenFL at least until April 2027.
