Python 3.7.17 is no longer officially supported as of June 2023. This means:

Security updates: It won't receive any further security patches, making it vulnerable to potential security risks.
Bug fixes: No bug fixes will be addressed, so you might encounter issues that won't be resolved.
Binary installers: These are no longer provided, so installation can be more complex and require building from source.

While Python 3.7.17 might still function for some basic tasks, using an unsupported version is not recommended due to the security and maintenance risks mentioned above. It's strongly advised to upgrade to a currently supported Python version, such as 3.11 or 3.10. You can find more information and download links on the official Python website: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Future Visitors:

Python 3.7 is the version delivered with Splunk 9.2. Attempting to replace it with a newer version could have disastrous consequences.

Another remarks.

You shouldn't ever install any additional module directly into Splunk's python! If there is something what you are needing, then create on app (see dev.splunk.com) and add those libraries under it.
