Python 3.7 and 3.8 Have Reached End-of-Life

As of October 7, 2024, Python 3.8 has reached its end-of-life, meaning it no longer receives bug or security fixes. Despite this, many systems continue to run on these versions, exposing them to unpatched vulnerabilities and compliance risks. If you're using them with NumPy 1.x, you're exposed — and no amount of unit tests will cover you when your next audit hits.

According to the Python Developer Survey, ~19% of projects still rely on EOL Python versions. That’s millions of apps running unpatched code.

NumPy 2.0 Broke the API

NumPy 2.0 introduced breaking changes across its Python and C APIs, creating downstream risk for teams still relying on 1.x. Upgrading means rewriting code, validating pipelines, and hoping nothing breaks in production — all while meeting audit deadlines.
