Hi does anyone know how can I find out when will AWS lambda upgrade their support to python 3.9? Last time they upgraded to 3.8 was 2019 and it’s been a while since v3.9 released.
I’m keen to use the latest v3.9 language features but sadly can’t do it in AWS
AWS typically don't have a public roadmap for these, but you can now create a lambda function from a docker container that runs Python 3.9 if you want to use that version.
You'd have to build an image that includes the awslambdaric package from PyPi, which is the interface AWS uses to talk to Lambda. That package is compatible with python 3.9 already.
More information about building images for Lambda in Python see: Deploy Python Lambda functions with container images
