Splunk initially announced the removal of Python 2 during the release of Splunk Enterprise 8.0.0, aiming to align with the latest Python versions. In our ongoing effort to stay up-to-date with the latest libraries and packages, Splunk has gradually started phasing out Python 2 from its codebase. Python 2 has already been removed from Splunk Enterprise 9.3, and starting with this version, the default Python interpreter has been upgraded from Python 3.7 to Python 3.9. Splunk Cloud has also begun the process of removing Python 2 from the remaining customer stacks, with the latest release upgrading these stacks to use Python 3.9 as the default interpreter. 

For more information on Python upgrade, please visit Python 3 Migration documentation.
