It might be a bit early to open this issue, but considering how long it took in the past for new versions of Python to be available on AWS Lambda …

Thanks for raising this issue. We're aware of the up-coming release and have started work already. We released Python 3.12 on 2023-12-14, which was faster than earlier releases but still gives us room to improve this time around :)

Hey @michael-k! According to the official Lambda documentation, Python 3.13 support in Lambda is expected in November this year, but may be subject to change.

We have published Preview container base images for Python 3.13 - see https://gallery.ecr.aws/lambda/python.

These images are previews, and should not be used for production workloads. Note that the experimental features for disabling the GIL and the JIT compiler are not supported.

Please share any feedback below...thank you!
