Upcoming deprecation of Python 3.9 for Dependabot

On June 23, 2026, Dependabot will no longer support Python version 3.9, which has reached its end-of-life. If you continue to use Python 3.9, there’s a risk that Dependabot will not create pull requests to update dependencies. If this affects you, please update to a supported release of Python. As of May 2026, the newest supported version of Python is 3.14. View Python’s official support policies for more information about supported releases.
