Tell us about your request Support Python 3.10 runtime.

Describe alternatives you've considered There is only an alternative if using an Image-based deployment, but it is not compatible with the App Runner configuration file.

Additional context Lambda runtime already has the plan to support python 3.10. It will be nice to have support in App runner because it keeps projects with multiple pieces deployed to AWS consistent regarding the used python version.

Our use case is:

• A Django API currently deployed to ECS Fargate, we would like to test App runner; our code supports python 3.10
• A worker task deployed to Lambda to manage background tasks, same here the code supports 3.10 only

App runner without the support of python 3.10 is a big barrier.

Thank you @CGarces; I adjusted the additional context.

AWS Lambda now supports Python 3.10 as both a managed runtime and a container base image

python 3.11 and 3.12 would be great too! AppRunner is way behind on Python -Are you planing on ever updating python?

Curious, why not just deoloy your own container?
