Python 3.7

[jeffvc]

Issue description

Given that Python 3.7 is no longer supported, will this be removed from the BTP build packs? Also, can instructions on how to reference specific versions of Python be published? The build packs provide all versions, from 3.7 to 3.10, so how to specify a specific version would be very helpful.

Hi @jeffvc,

Thank you for your feedback!
With the latest update of SAP BTP, Python 3.7 is now removed from the documentation. See: Supported Versions

To learn how to specify a particular buildpack version that contains the Python version(s) you need, see: Specify a buildpack version in manifest.yml

You can specify a specific Python version for your application in the runtime.txt file. For example:

python-3.11.*

To see a full end-to-end Python tutorial, see: Create an Application with Cloud Foundry Python Buildpack

Hope that helps! 🙂

Best regards,
Gergana
