Upgrade Readiness detects deprecated Python on server in Config Explorer despite presence of supported versions.
This is Splunk Enterprise on-premise version 9.2.4 and the Config Explorer is version 1.7.16. The splunkbase reports that Config Explorer 1.7.16 is compatible with all the Splunk 9 versions, 9.0-9.4 as of this writing.
The Upgrade Readiness App detected 1 app with deprecated Python on the my-server instance.
config_explorer
I have confirmed that in $SPLUNK/bin that the python3.7m executable reports it is version 3.7.17 and I have viewed the jsquery.js file in
$SPLUNK/etc/apps/splunk_monitoring_console/src/visualizations/heatmap/node_modules/jquery/dist/.
is jQuery JavaScript Library v3.5.0/jsquery.js which is the only jsquery.js file in the $SPLUNK subdirectories.
Why is the Upgrade Readiness App reporting a deprecated Python and why does my Splunk get warnings about Python and JQuery incompatibilities.

All the private apps on my splunk installation pass the jQuery and Python readiness. It is just the public Config Explorer that failed the Python readiness. I checked for customized code and editing of any files; by using the Linux CLI, I compared all the files in the etc/apps/config_explorer/... with another splunk server that had the app installed that did not get the python incompatibility. i compared filename, size, and date of the files and all the files were the same on each server; since one server flags config_explorer with a python version incompatibility, I wonder now if the Upgrade Readiness App has code in need of updating.
The wget command recommended in the link ".../9.4.0/UpgradeReadiness/ResultsPython" that will "undo dismissed apps" was helpful in reversing the effect of "Dismiss App Alert", but the Config Explorer now fails the python scan because "This newly installed App has not completed the necessary scan." instead of the Python incompatibility. I don't know if the wget that reverses the dismiss app alert and the new error from upgrade readiness are related.

Splunk Enterprise 9.x officially supports Python 3.7+, but some apps and add-ons may still include Python 2.x code. Even if your Splunk installation has Python 3.7.17, the Upgrade Readiness App scans app files for deprecated Python 2.x code.
Please check this below documentation for more information.
