Selenium is ending support for Python 3.9 in the Python WebDriver language bindings
---

From the upcoming 4.37 release, Selenium will no longer support Python 3.9 in the Python WebDriver language bindings. To install the [selenium package](https://pypi.org/project/selenium), you will need Python 3.10+.

Selenium will continue to support all versions of Python that are actively receiving bugfix and security updates from the Python core maintainers. The end-of-life for each major Python version is 5 years after its first release. For more information on supported Python versions, see the [Python Developer's Guide](https://devguide.python.org/versions/#supported-versions).
