Why Use Python Health Badges?
Your users deserve to know if their Python version has unpatched CVEs. A health badge in your README or docs gives instant visibility into version risk — no changelog reading required.
ReleaseRun badges go beyond what Shields.io offers. While Shields.io shows version numbers, our badges show security posture: CVE counts, EOL countdowns, and an overall health grade that factors in freshness (35%), security (35%), and support status (30%).
Common Use Cases
- Library maintainers: Show which Python versions your library supports and their health status. When Python 3.10 reaches EOL in October 2026, your badge automatically warns users to upgrade.
- DevOps teams: Embed badges in internal wikis or dashboards to track which Python versions are running across services.
- Documentation sites: Add version health badges next to installation instructions so users know they’re installing a supported, secure version.
What Makes These Different
Every badge pulls live data from the endoflife.date API and NIST National Vulnerability Database. Data refreshes every 6 hours. Badges are edge-cached for 5 minutes — fast enough for any CI/CD pipeline or documentation site.
Python Versions
Security Overview
CVE vulnerability data is sourced from the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and refreshed every 6 hours.
Check specific version CVEs using the badge builder above or visit our Python hub page for detailed security analysis.
Upgrade Guidance
Running an older version of Python? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:
- Check breaking changes in release notes
- Review EOL dates for your current version
- Test in staging before production rollout
- Consider LTS versions for stability
See the official Python documentation for detailed upgrade instructions.
