   🎯 Triage report

   Python 3.10 reached end-of-life on 2026-10-01, but the repository's .python-version file still pins Python 3.10 as the version used for building/tooling. This is a maintenance/housekeeping request to bump the pinned Python version to a currently supported release.

   📊 Assessment

   Dimension	Value	Reasoning
   Type	type:improvement	Not a functional bug; a maintenance update to keep tooling on a supported Python version
   Component	component:build	.python-version affects build/tooling environment selection
   Severity	n/a	Not a runtime bug; no immediate breakage reported, just EOL exposure
   Labels	type:improvement, component:build	See above
   Coding agent	Needs more info	The version bump itself is trivial, but it requires verifying that all Python-based build scripts/tools in the repo are compatible with the newer version before merging — broader than a one-line change

   🔗 Similar issues

   No closely related open or closed issues were found. A historical issue (#6651, closed) concerned a Python 2-vs-3 syntax build failure on EL9, which is a different underlying problem (not a version-pin/EOL issue).

   💡 Notes and suggestions

   • Reference: (devguide.python.org/redacted) for the current support matrix — Python 3.10 security support ended 2026-10-01.
   • File to update: .python-version (currently pinning 3.10) — see

     cloudstack/.python-version

     Line 1 in 7ed0cec

     3.10

   • Suggested next step: bump to a currently maintained version (e.g., 3.11 or 3.12), then run the project's Python-based build/test scripts (e.g., marvin tests, packaging scripts) in CI to confirm compatibility before merging.
   • Worth checking whether CI pipelines (GitHub Actions / Jenkins) also pin a Python version elsewhere that should be updated in tandem.

   Thanks @jbampton - @vladimirpetrov @sureshanaparti should we address this for 4.22.2?
