> Update Airavata Django Portal to a Supported Python Version
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AIRAVATA-3956
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3956
> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Django Portal
> Reporter: Yasith Jayawardana
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc, gsoc2025, mentor
>
> The Airavata Django Portal currently runs on Python 3.6, which reached its
> end-of-life (EOL) in 2022. Continuing to use an unsupported Python version
> poses security risks and limits access to new features and package updates.
> Upgrading to a supported version (Python 3.12 or later) will ensure long-term
> maintainability, security, and compatibility with modern dependencies.
> [Status of Python versions|https://devguide.python.org/versions/]
> Impact:
> • Improved security and stability
> • Access to the latest language features and performance
> improvements
> • Compatibility with actively maintained third-party packages
> Proposed Solution: Update the codebase and dependencies for compatibility
> with Python 3.12+, and ensure everything works as expected post-upgrade.
