Python 3.12 support

[keithpeck]

Currently https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/lambda/lambda-python says 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 are supported.

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda/releases/tag/layer-python%2F0.11.0 mentions 3.12 support, but we have not been able to get otel working with arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:901920570463:layer:aws-otel-python-amd64-ver-1-29-0:1 in 3.12. It's unclear if it's still not supported or the doc needs updating.

Thanks

Hello @vasireddy99

Hope you’re doing well! I wanted to check in on this issue, as it’s been open for about a month now. Do you see any limitations or blockers that are preventing us from moving forward?

If there’s anything I can do to help or if I could assist to speed things up, I’d be happy to support.

As a side note, I'm also not sure if we can have both 3.12 and 3.13 support in one release or not.

Thanks so much!

Hello,
There are no limitations for now at the moment to support 3.12, we would need to release new layers and don't have an ETA at the moment.

for the 3.13 once the support is added upstream. we should be able to do 3.12 and 3.13 in one release.

@vasireddy99 Thanks for the quick response!

Do you think a PR like this could do the trick for python3.12 (#1103)

Or adding support for new Python versions is not something the community can contribute to?

Please let me know, and also feel free to close the PR if we can't proceed with it.

Thanks!

I would recommend adding python 3.13 support in opentelemetry-lambda repo

Created the related issue and PR here: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda#1755

Thanks!

@vasireddy99 given that open-telemetry repo release has been around for a while with support of 3.12 and 3.13 https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda/releases/tag/layer-python%2F0.13.0 and this PR to add support being open #1103 do you see a way to expedite layer finally getting support for 3.12?

I have a number of python lambdas that I really want to upgrade to 3.12 and use the recently brought back graceful shutdown functionality and the only blocker I have is this layer crashing and leaving functions with no observability.

This issue is still relevant. Please keep it open until Python 3.12 layer support is available.

Thank you!
