The end-of-life is scheduled 5 years after the first release but can be adjusted by the release manager of each branch. Every release gets:

  • 2 years of planned releases with bugfixes.
  • 3 years of only security fixes and source distribution without precompiled binaries

The detailed release information (including schedules) can be found among Release PEPs

A Python release only supports a Windows platform while Microsoft considers the platform under extended support. Python 3.8 was the last version to support Windows 7.

More information is available on the Python website.

You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
