Imagine you’re all set to board a flight. You've got your book and snack, and you're nestled into your seat. The pilot assures you of a smooth journey ahead. Comforting, right? But for hundreds of thousands of airline passengers last holiday season, the reality was far from comforting. Remember the chaos? A major airline canceled around 17,000 flights due to outdated software in their crew scheduling system, leaving pilots clueless about their assignments.

The fallout was severe: a 15% plummet in share price, a $400 million hit to revenue, and about $300 million in compensation costs—not to mention the lasting stain on their reputation.

Now, let’s turn to you. What upgrades are you putting off? What will it cost you to delay?

Fear of the unknown is a major driver of delaying upgrades and inadvertently risking security. Which deprecations in the standard library actually affect me? Do my packages support the next version of Python? If I upgrade one package, which other packages are affected?

In my talk, I will demo how new tools—data that can be leveraged directly through Snowflake or through an app that also parses `requirements.txt` to do even more of the heavy lifting—can help the audience navigate minefields of Python upgrades and get to the latest Python version. The audience will also leave with practical, required actions for Python deprecations on popular platforms: AWS, Heroku, and AZURE.
