Applicability

Splunk Enterprise

Description

As per the Splunk official document, Splunk supports only Python version 3.7.

And as per the Python official website (Devguide - Python) version 3.7 is already on End-of-Life.

A user wants to know if it is safe to use the deprecated version of Python, which is on end of life on June 27, 2023 but is being used on Splunk Enterprise.

The user also wants to know if it is possible to upgrade the Python version to the supported Python version in Splunk Enterprise.


Resolution

Python version 3.7 is safe and will work as expected without any flaws with the latest versions of Splunk Enterprise and Splunk will support it for the support lifetime of the Splunk version they're using.
Also, there is no other way to upgrade the Python version in Splunk Enterprise.
