Python 3.10 EOL in 26 Oct 2026?

@Mike_L ,

Quite frankly, something is going very wrong with the Python 3.10 extensions stuff.

In this thread, you said today:

In the same thread, @jmccullough3 referenced what I also saw earlier:

"Python 3.10 will no longer be supported after October 2026. To maintain Python extension support, OneAgents and ActiveGates starting from version 1.333 will include a new Python 3.14 runtime to be used for extensions."

Now, the following appears:

We can't keep working like this!

To me nothing there contradicts each other. If you clarify where the problem is I’d be happy to elaborate on it.

EOS vs. EOL?

Python 3.10 is end of support by Python in October. We cannot ship a software that no longer gets security updates, so it will be removed from the OneAgents and ActiveGates from then onward.

No, @Mike_L , you are trying to get around it.

Is it EOL or EOS?

Why was the message changed?

And I'll not make more questions, for now.

So there is no ambiguity here, I'll screenshot it here, from

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/whats-new/technology/end-of-life-announcements

before someone also changes this:

It is both. Python 3.10 is End of Support by Python, and because of that we need to End of Life it as we cannot ship unsupported software with our OneAgents/ActiveGates.

Sorry, @Mike_L

It cannot be both: is it EOS, as it was stated before, or EOL, as the message currently appears in the Platform?

And, as I asked, why was it changed?

I think the confusion here is that:

Python community states EoL and means they wont support it any longer. ofc they cant make anyone stop from using it.

We / Dynatrace would understand EoS by that.

We will add clarification in the deprecation messages to make it more clear.

thx for raising it!
