ClickCease Extended Lifecycle Support for Python 2.x

 

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.

Extend your timeline for development without rushing clients to upgrade prematurely.

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
to the latest Python releases, TuxCare is the partner of choice. We provide the security bridge that lets you run legacy code
with confidence while you plan—and fund—future upgrades, all without disrupting your customer base.

Securely Moving Forward

Why should you change your code when a new version of a language is released if it runs fine as-is? Python Endless
Lifecycle Support from TuxCare breathes new life into code written for out-of-support Python versions with rapid security
updates, vulnerability fixes, and more.
