On June 11, 2019 we
deprecated support for Python 2 in the
AdWords/Google Ad Manager client library for Python. As part of our
previously announced plans, in mid-November 2019 we will be deprecating support in the
Google Ads client library for Python as well.
When version
4.0.0 of the Google Ads client library for Python is released, we will officially end support for Python 2 and versions of Python 3 prior to 3.6.0.
If you use the Google Ads client library for Python, please take note of the following:
- If you are already using Python version 3.6.0 or later, you can upgrade to Google Ads client library 4.0.0 and no other action is needed. If not, please do not upgrade to version 4.0.0 until you’ve upgraded to Python version 3.6.0 or later.
- Version 4.0.0 will continue to support previous API versions such as v1_3 but we won't support client library issues related to Python 2 compatibility. For example, we won't release version 4.0.1 to fix a bug that only exists for Python 2 users.
If you have questions about the Python 3 migration, please submit an issue on the Google Ads client library repository’s
Issues page, and for general API support please reach out to us on the
Google Ads API forum.
