Release Supportability

Starting in September 2021, new Azure SDK libraries will support Python versions 3+. The Python community announced end of support of Python 2 on January 1, 2020. They’re encouraging all developers to upgrade to Python 3 to avoid any issues and potential security vulnerabilities in their apps. The Python Software Foundation (PSF), provides a tool (2to3) to automatically migrate from Python 2 to Python 3 and a migration guide with more detailed information.
The preview of Azure Purview Account will no longer be updated since the package features have been merged into the wider package Azure Purview Administration.
From July 2021 onward, updated JavaScript libraries dropped support for Node.js 8, which reached end of life in January 2020. For more details, please see our support policy.
