Heads-up that PyTorch will stop publishing Python 3.10 binaries in 2.15. This makes PyTorch 2.14 the last release to ship any cp310 wheels. From 2.15, the minimum supported Python is 3.11.
Python 3.10 is being removed from both CD and CI — no cp310 wheels or libtorch archives will be built or uploaded to PyPI or download.pytorch.org, and the 3.10 CI jobs are going away with them.
This starts next week. Python 3.10 is removed from nightly CD during the week of 21 September 2026, and from CI on 28 September 2026. If you install from the nightly channel, cp310 nightlies stop appearing from that date — you do not have to wait for 2.15 to be affected. Released 2.14 binaries are unaffected and stay available.

Why now
Python 3.10 reaches end of life on 31 October 2026 (Python release cycle).
Our policy in RFC-0038 is to remove during the release process of the last PyTorch release before the oldest supported Python goes EOL. PyTorch 2.15 is GA on 28 October 2026, three days before that date, so 2.15 is that release.
This follows the same pattern as the Python 3.9 deprecation in 2.9 and the Python 3.8 deprecation before it.
Supported Python versions
| Version | Status after 2.15 |
|---|---|
| 3.10 | Dropped |
| 3.11 | Retained (new minimum) |
| 3.12 | Retained |
| 3.13 | Retained |
| 3.14 / 3.14t | Retained |
| 3.15 / 3.15t | Retained |
The exact set of published versions changes from release to release, so check the getting-started page for the current list rather than pinning to what is written here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
If you are still on Python 3.10
Move to 3.11 or newer. 3.11 is supported until October 2027, so it is the smallest step that buys you a full extra year. 3.10 → 3.11 is a low-friction upgrade for most code; there are no removals in 3.11 that commonly affect PyTorch users.
If you cannot move yet, pin to 2.14 while it is current:
pip3 install torch==2.14.0 torchvision==0.29.0
Those binaries remain on PyPI and download.pytorch.org indefinitely. Note that staying on 2.14 means no further bug fixes, security fixes or new features — it is a stopgap, not a destination.
Building 2.15+ from source against Python 3.10 is not supported and we will not be testing it.
Timeline
- 2.14 (released) — last release with published Python 3.10 wheels. These binaries remain available.
- Week of Mon 21 September 2026 — Python 3.10 removed from nightly CD. No further cp310 nightlies published.
- Mon 28 September 2026 — Python 3.10 removed from CI.
- Mon 5 October 2026 — 2.15 release branch cut, with 3.10 already gone.
- Wed 28 October 2026 — 2.15 GA, first release without Python 3.10 support.
- Sat 31 October 2026 — Python 3.10 upstream end of life.
Feedback
If this breaks a workflow you depend on, please comment on the RFC — [RFC] Remove Python 3.10 support in CI/CD · Issue #197242 · pytorch/pytorch · GitHub — before the 2.15 branch cut on 5 October. After the cut the change is in the release branch and much harder to revisit.
