Plan according to the version of the official website：https://devguide.python.org/versions/
the end of life 3.8 version is 2024/10, is there any plan to upgrade

The initial plan is to add support for python 3.9 (RHEL 8) and python 3.10 (Ubuntu 22.04 requirement). But upgrading the python has various dependency issues which are being investigated.
