The Jenkins PR builds are using outdated Python versions: 3.12.2, 3.12.7,
3.13.0.rc3, and 3.13.0. The latest releases are 3.12.9 and 3.13.2 (both
2025-02-04).

Since "We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release
of each series," it seems like tests should be running on them. (Or at
least, not on prereleases. And 3.12.2 is over a year old.)

To verify:
1. Choose any recent PR at https://github.com/django/django/pulls. (I
can't link to specific PR builds here, because Jenkins logs are purged
very quickly.)
2. Scroll down to the "All checks have passed" or "Some checks were not
successful" block in the PR.
3. In the checks list, click into any of the djangoci jobs (identified by
a Django logo—e.g., pr-mariadb, pull-requests-focal, etc.).
4. On the Jenkins page, click "Console Output." If there's a "Full log"
link above the output, click it to expand the setup logs.
5. Search the log for "created virtual environment" and note the Python
version.

Results:
- CPython3.12.2.final.0-64 (e.g., pull-requests-focal/database=mysql,label
=focal-pr,python=python3.12)
- CPython3.12.7.final.0-64 (e.g., pull-requests-
focal/database=postgres,label=focal-pr,python=python3.12)
- CPython3.13.0.candidate.3-64 (e.g., pull-requests-
focal/database=sqlite3,label=focal-pr,python=python3.13)
- CPython3.13.0.final.0-64 (e.g., pr-
mariadb/database=mysql,label=mariadb,python=python3.13)

[Apologies if this is the wrong place to report djangoci configuration
issues. I did try asking in the forum.]

Comment:

[https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/jenkins-djangoci-build-questions/38919
This is the question on the forum].

This is what I know, which isn't much.
- We have some documentation on our ci here:
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CI, e.g. we use Ubuntu 20.04
- The jenkins-ansible project hosts most of our Jenkins configurations,
e.g: https://github.com/django/jenkins-
ansible/blob/focal/roles/djangodata/files/runtests_jenkins.sh
- The [https://www.djangoproject.com/foundation/teams/#ops-team Ops team]
manages Jenkins

I will cc some ops team members and they can decide if they want to keep
this ticket, or have a GitHub issue on jenkins-ansible.

Trac is not a place for things related with our infrastructure. I will
bump Python version in the coming days.

> We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release of

each series.

We use this to protect us from tickets related with bugs in older minor
Python releases.

Comment (by Mike Edmunds):

Thanks all, I appreciate the info and followup.

Incidentally, the jenkins-ansible repo is not public. I'm sure there are
good reasons for that, but it wouldn't have been possible for me to report
the problem there.
