4 months ago or LTS (not sure how this translates to Python versioning)
Python doesn't have LTS releases, they're all supported for 5 years.
You may find the third-party https://endoflife.date/python useful, it has an endpoint at https://endoflife.date/api/python.json. See also https://endoflife.date/docs/api
You can see if a release is EOL, or still under bugfix or security support.
There's also some GitHub Actions using it:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to use release API endpoint in Renovate for automated updates. It in turn need to know if a release is deprecated (end-of-life) or LTS (not sure how this translates to Python versioning) These are not required, but would be a helpful addition.
Describe the solution you'd like Data in https://github.com/python/devguide/blob/main/include/release-cycle.json
Added to each release in https://www.python.org/api/v2/downloads/release/
Or release-cycle.json as a new endpoint.
Describe alternatives you've considered A file in devguide can be parsed by Renovate and then merged to API output, but this seems fragile. https://github.com/python/devguide/blob/main/include/release-cycle.json
