Ending Support for Python 3.9

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

From the upcoming 4.37 release, Selenium will no longer support Python 3.9 in the Python WebDriver language bindings. To install the selenium package, you will need Python 3.10+.

Selenium will continue to support all versions of Python that are actively receiving bugfix and security updates from the Python core maintainers. The end-of-life for each major Python version is 5 years after its first release. For more information on supported Python versions, see the Python Developer’s Guide.

In real estate, the mantra for finding a new house or office space is “location, location, location!”. It could be said that when working with Selenium, a critical aspect of writing tests is “locators, locators, locators!”. Having a robust locator strategy - in your app under test and in your test framework - is highly important for effective testing.

If you are a Pythonista like myself and using Selenium for your test automation, then there are some important changes coming to how locators are defined and used.
