Migrate to new google-genai package with active development and Python 3.13 support?

[JoshuaC215]

As far as I can tell, this langchain-google-genai package is still built on the old google-generativeai (https://github.com/google-gemini/generative-ai-python) which based on it's README appears to be in maintenance mode. It is not receiving new feature development, it also does not support Python 3.13 (google-gemini/generative-ai-python#518)

All development going forward seems to be on google-genai - https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai

Is there any plan to migrate this repo to use the new one, or any alternative LangChain integration with the new package?

Seems like in the current state, an application needs to decide between using this langchain-google-genai or supporting Python 3.13, but not both. And it doesn't seem like the underlying package is going to be updated.

Up on this issue, when can we expect an update on this?
