Hello,
Thank you for your message. As you mention, Python has ended support for versions 2.x, and we do encourage our users to use a 3.x version. However, I would like to answer all your questions, point by point: 0 - Dev_appserver does indeed have support for Python 3, which you can find here <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/tools/using-local-server> [1]. 1 - GAE still supports many 2.x bundled services in the Python 3 runtime, including memcache and task queue. You can find more information about this in this paragraph <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/migrate-to-python3#services> [2] from the migrate to Python 3 page, and in this link <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/services/access> [3]. However, currently, the recommendation is to consider migrating to unbundled Google Cloud products <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/migrate-to-python3/migrating-services> [4]. There is a feature request about this which you can follow in this link <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/131333728> [5]. 2 - Currently we do not have any information about ending Python 2.x support. 3 - As mentioned in the Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service <https://cloud.google.com/terms/?skip_cache=true#:~:text=(d)%C2%A0Discontinuation%20of,offerings,%20or%20functionality> [6], there will be at least 12 months notice before a discontinuation of any service in Google Cloud. We will also ensure that any transition goes as smoothly as possible, and provide support for any doubts about any discontinuation. I hope this answers all your questions.
