Support of Python Versions Higher than 3.6

StefanSchnell · September 30, 2020, 7:21am

Hello UiPath Developer Team,

in the current version 1.1.6863.33404 of UiPath.Python.Activities Pack from 2018/10/17 the highest supported version of Python is 3.6.

The current release of Python is 3.8. The support of release 3.6 ends at 2021/12/23 and security patches will be released only. Do you plan to support higher releases of Python in the near future?

Thanks and best regards
Stefan

Hi @StefanSchnell,
It’s a very good question. I’m very sorry that it takes so long but I will be back with the response I’m in touch with our devs and waiting for information.

Hi @StefanSchnell,
I’m back with response
So as it’s said HERE python package has been made an open-source project. Our devs used there 3rd party library which is currently supported up to 3.6 version. They stand that they are currently keeping up to date with version 3 of python. But to be honest we don’t know what it means. However you can monitor any current or future changes directly on package’s github project HERE as well as you can collaborate in this project

Additionally you can check out this file if any newer library has been added:

github.com

UiPath/Community.Activities/blob/master/Activities/Python/UiPath.Python/Version.cs

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;

namespace UiPath.Python
{
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Field, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]
    internal sealed class VersionAttribute : Attribute
    {
        public int Major { get; set; }

        public int Minor { get; set; }

        public string AssemblyName { get; set; }

        public VersionAttribute(int major, int minor, string assemblyName)
        {
            Major = major;
            Minor = minor;
            AssemblyName = assemblyName;
