Add support for Python 3.10
3.10 Finally close to release for aws lambda
Is there a certain Python version that’s most commonly used with Lambda?
Python 3.12 Lambda functions noticeably slower than 3.10

I’m pretty new and trying to learn how to use Python and Lambda. My code has been getting a lot of errors, even if I copy a simple Python application. One thing I noticed later than I should have, is that I’m on the current version of Python at 3.10.2 and Lambda runtimes only go up to Python 3.9
Am I creating problems for myself just from being on Python 3.10.2? Is there an industry standard Python version that most people use like 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 etc
Has anyone else tried updating any of their python 3.10 lambda functions to the 3.12 runtime? Having done this for a couple of our API serving functions we've noticed a consistent uplift in the average execution times as in this example screenshot. Worth noting nothing else at all has changed in the code or config, a very simple switch of runtime environment, the results also stay constant, they have not dropped back to normal levels over time. Anyone else had this problem? Should we just hold out and wait for better optimised 3.12 versions to come along?
