Since:

  • It has been end of life upstream since 2021-12-23, so is no longer receiving security updates.
  • The buildpack has been warning about its end of life in the build log output since 2022-08-17.
  • The upgrade from Python 3.6 to Python 3.7+ in many cases requires no changes to an application at all, or else some small dependency updates (compared to say the upgrade from Python 2 to 3).
  • It is already not available on Heroku-22 (due to it being incompatible with OpenSSL 3), so apps will need to switch eventually.
  • Any apps that must stay on Python 3.6 short term, can pin to the previous buildpack version as a stop-gap.
