Python 3.10 EOL in 26 Oct 2026?

[AntonioSousa]

@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!

[Mike_L]

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?

[Mike_L]

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.

[AntonioSousa]

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.

[Mike_L]

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.

[AntonioSousa]

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?

[AntonioSousa]

And, as I asked, why was it changed?

[AntonioSousa]

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:

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!

[AntonioSousa]

@Ve ,
The message remains the same...
