I’m having Python 3.10.10 on my Windows and am using Django 4.2.16 for my webapps. If I update to Python 3.13.0 then will any of my Django apps be affected ? Any breaking changes ?

As per [the Django 4.2 release notes](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/releases/4.2/#python-compatibility), Django 4.2 supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 (as of 4.2.8).

Support for Python 3.13 is being tracked in this Django issue:

[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/34900](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/34900)

Django 5.1 will be the first version to support Python 3.13.

I’d suggest updating to Python 3.11 or 3.12, until you’re ready to update Django. There will be feature and performance wins from that.

Just to follow-up, Django will have official support for Python 3.13 from v5.1.3
