Hi,
I updated my entire stack to Python 3.12 since the AZ CLI and the functions core v4 now support python 3.12. I discovered though that the Azure Function App platform still doesn't support these.
First i got the following warning when running func azure functionapp publish ...:
Local python version '3.12.7' is different from the version expected for your deployed Function App. This may result in 'ModuleNotFound' errors in Azure Functions. Please create a Python Function App for version 3.12 or change the virtual environment on your local machine to match 'Python|3.11'.
I then checked the UI and it seems I cannot actually create a Python v3.12 function app:
My question is when will the Function App platform / create new function app wizard, support Python 3.12?
Note- Python 3.13 is already in stable release.
This effort is currently in progress. The image has been created and the team is working getting the image integrated into the platform. I can't provide you an exact time frame for release, but it should be sooner rather than later.
EDIT 26 November 2024
The team is targeting January 2025 for a release preview.
Thanks for your candor. Disappointing.
@Na'aman Hirschfeld I can definitely understand the disappointment. Should I hear anything, I'll be sure to update this post.

Any other updates? It's now March 2025 and there's still no support for v3.12 which I find quite odd especially with 3.13 being in release for some time now and 3.14 isn't too far. I'd expect 3.14 to be in preview right now, not 3.12, that's putting us 2 full releases behind.

Hi MS Guys, Microsoft Defender for Cloud asks me to immediately upgrade to 3.13.3 due to security issues and I can't do that since it's not supported in Azure Functions - what do you suggest?
When are we going to see version 3.13.3 running?
