Python Compatibility

Django 6.0 will support Python 3.12 and 3.13, making it essential for developers to upgrade their projects to the latest Python versions.

• End of Support for Older Python Versions: Django 5.2 is the last version to support Python 3.10 and 3.11. If your project relies on these versions, it’s time to upgrade.

For package maintainers, it’s recommended to drop support for Django versions before 5.2 to align with the latest development standards.
