Supportability

Python libraries stopped supporting Python 3.7 in December 2023. The next minor version, Python 3.8, is supported until April 2025. For more information, see the  Azure SDK for Python version support policy.

Numerous older Azure SDK libraries, which weren’t compliant with the  Azure SDK Guidelines, were retired (deprecated) in 2023. Our next deprecation milestone is March 2024. While no code stops working, support and updates end when a library reaches retirement. You can see a list of retired libraries along with their replacement libraries at  Azure SDK Deprecated Releases.
