Python default notebook and codespace environment¶

Deprecation notice

Python 3.13 has now replaced 3.11 as the default notebook and codespace environment.

New notebooks and codespaces now use the built-in Python 3.13 environment image by default, replacing Python 3.11. The image includes Python 3.13, the DataRobot Python client, and common data science libraries. It is also required to connect a local IDE to a codespace over SSH.

Existing notebooks and codespaces keep the image already selected for them. To continue using Python 3.11, choose that image on the Environment tab. Self-managed administrators can restore Python 3.11 as the cluster default by setting DEFAULT_ENV_ID in values.yaml; see Notebooks.

Python 3.11 will be deprecated in a future release. DataRobot recommends upgrading to Python 3.13.

For more information, see Built-in environment images.
