We are announcing the ability to run Python scripts using current Python versions in desktop flows in Microsoft Power Automate. This feature will reach public preview on June 30, 2026.
How does this affect me?
Power Automate for desktop now supports running Python scripts using current Python versions in addition to existing legacy scripting capabilities. This enhancement addresses the limitations of the previous IronPython-based implementation and enables you to execute scripts with broader compatibility across libraries. You can run scripts using a locally installed Python environment and specify the Python installation to use, allowing flexibility in selecting the appropriate setup for your automation scenarios.
Existing scripts will continue to work as before, enabling backward compatibility while allowing you to adopt updated Python capabilities at your own pace.
What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
