Description

Description

The current TensorFlow runtime images only support Python versions up to 3.11.0 release candidate 1 (rc1). This limitation can hinder users who rely on newer Python versions for compatibility, security, or feature improvements.

Expected Behavior

TensorFlow runtime images should support stable Python versions higher than 3.11.0 rc1, ensuring compatibility with the latest Python releases.

Proposed Solution

Include the deadsnakes PPA repository in Dockerfiles for TensorFlow runtime images to provide access to newer Python versions on older Ubuntu releases.

Research direction

Locate the Dockerfiles for the TensorFlow runtime images and review their current Python-version support and Ubuntu bases. Check the image build and test workflow, then verify that stable Python versions newer than 3.11.0 rc1 are available in the affected images.
