Python 2.7.1 is a security risk - need modern version

Maximo 7.6.1.2 uses Python/Jython 2.7.1.

Python 2.7.1 is no longer supported by the Python.org foundation. End-of-support, including security fixes, ended on 2020-01-01.


Python 2.7.1 was released eleven years ago -- which is ancient.

Please move Maximo to a newer version of Python.

    Apologize - I had added this comment but marked it private in error.

    Python 2.72 is delivered with MAS 8.4 and is targeted for Maximo EAM 7.6.1.3 in Q3 2022. We are dependent on the Jython support which is not available with Python 3 as of yet.
