Endless Lifecycle
Support for Python
Continue to use Python 2.7 and Python 3 (3.3 – 3.13) software on Linux distributions securely. TuxCare’s ELS for Python enables you to continue using your existing software as before, on a modern platform that satisfies your compliance requirements, while you receive security updates for high and critical vulnerabilities.
TuxCare has successfully resolved more than 5000 CVEs in open-source products to date (and counting), ensuring robust security and compliance for enterprise systems.
2.7 to 3.13
Bridging legacy Python
versions to modern platforms
Software written in Python 2.7 or older Python 3 releases is hard to deploy on modern enterprise platforms in a compliant manner – either because these interpreters aren’t available in EL9‑class repositories and require additional work to support the newer OpenSSL and C runtime shipped in EL9 or because they no longer receive upstream security fixes. Yet these applications remain critical, and rewriting them for the latest Python versions can be time‑consuming or prohibitively expensive.

Challenges with Backporting
Backporting unsupported Python versions takes deep expertise and experience. Clients who require this bridge need multiple layers of support, including continuous patching for current and future CVEs. TuxCare, a global leader in Linux and open‑source patching, delivers that protection so your applications run securely on modern enterprise platforms.
Capturing your technical needs today
TuxCare offers similar code bridge capabilities for PHP and other applications requiring extended support beyond the
manufacturers' lifecycles. Application teams need time to develop their next-gen code and communicate confidence with
their clients while having the ability to extend the life of their solution and maintain the highest security.
ELS from TuxCare buys you the time needed while providing the required updates to keep your
client secure during your application transformation.
Create a solid migration of code without jeopardizing client stability.
Continue to receive CVE updates well beyond the manufacturer's EOL date.
Partnering with TuxCare
Whether you need to keep critical applications on Python 2.7 or early Python 3 (3.3‑3.9) today or map your path

with confidence while you plan—and fund—future upgrades, all without disrupting your customer base.
Securely Moving Forward
