SOAR 7.0 Upgrade & Python 3.13 Migration – Ansible Tower App Compatibility?

[soarguy]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to SOAR 7.0, and noticed Splunk has mentioned an upcoming migration from Python 3.9 to Python 3.13 in future releases. The challenge I’m seeing is that the Ansible Tower app is currently built for Python 3.9 and has been archived.

GitHub - splunk-soar-connectors/ansible_tower

I’m curious how others are handling this situation:

• Have you found any official replacement or alternative app?
• Any plans or workarounds for the Python 3.13 migration?

I’d appreciate any insights or best practices from those who have dealt with this or are planning ahead.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @soarguy 

With previous Splunk Enterprise release where there was a new version of Python it was done in a phased approach whereby the new version was introduced but was still possible to use the previous version in that release, hopefully this would be the case for future SOAR releases too. Currently its a bit of a chicken/egg situation but hopefully somebody will adopt/fork this archived connector and provide 9.13 compatibility.
