Is this a new feature request?

Wanted change

Could you please be so kind to update python to the latest version :) Thanks in advance

Reason for change

As of Home Assistant 2024.2 I get an warning for this:

2024-02-01 09:35:46.392 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Support for the running Python version 3.11.6 is deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2024.4; Please upgrade Python to 3.12

Proposed code change

No response

This is not a simple task. Our wheel builder is not set up for python versions out of cadence with the base OS and alpine does not have py 3.12 released yet (not even in their edge repo). It's a bold move to stay that close to cutting edge but the upstream project has vertical integration so they probably can afford the risk. It's a lot more trouble than it's worth for us.

As of Home Assistant 2024.2 I get an warning for this:

Are you sure you're using our image? We don't have a build for 2024.2 as it has not been released to stable yet. Latest we pushed is 2024.1.6

[florie1706]

I use your git to build it with the beta.

@florie1706
I have a test build of HA with py3.12. When you get a chance, can you test and let us know if you encounter any issues?
lsiodev/homeassistant:2024.2.0-py312
Thanks
It's built off of this branch: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-homeassistant/tree/py312

Hi @aptalca thanks for test build. Seems to work. Core integrations and some of my custom integrations worked. HA is running, no more warning (of course). But I needed to revert back because a couple of my custom integrations stopped working. I think they have to be upgraded to py3.12 as well. I check with the non working to get them run :)

Hi, same Problem here: 2024.2.0 Frontend 20240207.0

original error message (in german):
Dies funktioniert nicht mehr in Version 2024.4. Bitte behebe dies vor dem Upgrade.
Die Unterstützung für die Ausführung von Home Assistant in der aktuell verwendeten Python-Version 3.11.6 ist veraltet und wird in Home Assistant 2024.4 entfernt. Bitte aktualisiere Python auf 3.12, um zu verhindern, dass deine Home Assistant-Instanz beschädigt wird.

Everybody will have this message because everybody uses the same image ;) You could also try the test build from @aptalca two messages prior yours or wait until python 3.12 is officially in the release images here. For now I would say it is just sort of a warning without any downside. Should be fixed until the 2024.4 release where python 3.12 will be mandatory.

I use unraid, so I have no option but to just install from the community app store - which now does not work.
What are my options, if any ?

[j0nnymoe]

Currently you need to roll back to the previous version and not update.

Well thats a pain. Just restored - back to yesterday morning backups........ And now it starts - but no sensors are working at all - all offline..... I only moved to container from my VM 3 weeks ago and was stable on VM for years.
Will look ino it tomorrow as its too late now.

[vw-kombi]

Actually - my dashboard was like that - there are no actual sensors there are at all after restore!!!!!!
I have a config somewhere saved......

[florie1706]

But are your problems really related to my feature request to have python 3.12 in an upcoming release image?

Prob not - I will have to work through the restores and manual copy - I am on holiday in bali - shold never have hit that update button while I am still 3 weeks away!

[vw-kombi]

Its fubar'd - I am going to have to set it all back up when I get back to Australia!!!!!

Hi, also got the warning but I'm confused people already got issues cause the warning is just saying its going to break at version 2024.4. Anyhow I'm happy that the python upgrade to 3.12 got adressed cause like others here I'm also using unraid for some small instances of HA and I don't want to switch to anywhere else, Thanks.

I currently using the 3.12 branch. it seems everything is working fine.
I did notice my HA stop restarting itself randomly after 3 - 4 hrs after using the 3.12 branch.

[florie1706]

@aptalca I used your test build from the beginning and with HA 2024.2.1 I built my own image which runs also very well. Nothing to report. Thanks again for your effort.
