Python 3.8 end of life

Python 3.8 end of life

As announced last year, our new update process is getting closer to the official Python release cycle, which is 5 years of support. Starting April 30th, we’ll remove Python 3.8, released in 2019 and end-of-life since last October, from our images.

To upgrade to a more recent version of Python, you only need to update CC_PYTHON_VERSION of your applications and rebuild them. Use 3 as value to always get the latest release available on Clever Cloud.

If you need to keep Python 3.8 for legacy reasons, you can use uv or Mise which are available in all our recently updated images.
