Language Compatibility
PyMongo supports both CPython and PyPy.
When a version of Python is marked end-of-life (EOL), the next minor release of PyMongo drops support for that version. The driver offers the following ongoing support for EOL Python versions:
CPython: The last minor PyMongo version compatible with the EOL CPython version receives critical bug fixes for one year.
PyPy: PyMongo doesn't support PyPy versions past their EOL date.
The following compatibility table specifies the recommended version of PyMongo for use with a specific version of Python. The first column lists the driver version.
