Support for Python 3.12

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Hi, Are there any plans to start supporting Python 3.12.

There is the current issue of Python 3.12 not supporting imp module anymore, whilst KNIME requires it. There is a new library called importlib, but this is not recognised by KNIME.

I am having some Python modules requiring 3.12 now, so it is becoming more problematic.

Thanks,

Simon.

Hi @richards99,

yes, we are adding support for Python 3.12 to 3.14 to the next KNIME AP Release 5.9 for both, Python scripts and Python-based extensions.

Tech Detail: The issue was not just imp, but that from Python 3.12 one has to use newer Pandas and Numpy versions, which required some more fixes to how you can access KNIME tables from within Python scripts.

If you need this as part of an LTS release, it’ll make it into the LTS release in Summer 2026

Best,
Carsten
