Python Supported Environments

This page provides an overview of supported environments for the Python Agent.

Python Versions

The Python agent supports these Python versions:

• 3.8
• 3.9
• 3.10
• 3.11
• 3.12
• 3.13

Operating Systems

The Python agent operates on:

• Any Linux distribution based on glibc>=2.28 , GLIBCXX_>=8.5.0, the x86 64-bit, or arm64 architecture.

• Alpine Linux (3.13+) distribution based on musl 1.2.2+, x86 64-bit, or arm64 architecture
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9

Multicloud Deployment Support

The agent supports deployment in the following multi-cloud environments:

• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
• Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Python Frameworks and Protocols

Python Agent supports:

• ASGI supported frameworks such as FastAPI.
• Any ASGI frameworks running under the Uvicorn ASGI server.
• WSGI supported frameworks such as Django, Flask, CherryPy, Bottle, and Pyramid .
• Tornado

You can configure the agent to instrument any WSGI-based and ASGI-based application or framework as Python Web, including but not limited to those listed in the following tables.

At present, the Python agent fully supports exception detection in Django, Flask, CherryPy, Bottle, Pyramid, Tornado, and FastAPI frameworks. Other frameworks and custom applications may install exception handlers that effectively hide some exceptions from the agent. In such cases, the agent will only detect exceptions during exit calls, missed exceptions that are propagated to the WSGI or ASGI middleware, and exceptions reported via the custom business transaction API.
