Amazon Lambda adds support for Python 3.13 in China Regions

Posted on: Nov 14, 2024

Amazon Lambda now supports creating serverless applications using Python 3.13 in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. Developers can use Python 3.13 as both a managed runtime and a container base image. We will automatically apply updates to the managed runtime and base image as they become available.

Python 3.13 is the latest long-term support (LTS) release of Python and is expected to be supported for security and bug fixes until October 2029. This release provides Lambda customers access to the latest Python 3.13 language features. Powertools for Amazon Lambda (Python), a developer toolkit to implement serverless best practices and increase developer velocity, also supports Python 3.13. For more information on Lambda’s support for Python 3.13, see our product documentation.

You can use the full range of Amazon deployment tools, including the Lambda console, Amazon CLI, Amazon Serverless Application Model (SAM), Amazon CDK, and Amazon CloudFormation to deploy and manage serverless applications written in Python 3.13. To migrate existing Lambda functions running earlier Python versions, review your code and dependencies for compatibility with Python 3.13 and then update the function runtime to Python 3.13.
