Hello,
I am new here and have looked for an answer to my question but have been unable to. I have been getting this alert when I run the security checkup lately and I am not sure what to do. It states that it is inadvisable to update python on its own but I have been through a few minor upgrades and the issue still perists. I am on version 25.7.11_2
Thank you
Dave

Wait for the next release which will probably address these issues. There is nothing you can do now.
Python has not gone ahead with releasing a new version yet. It was met with a bit of irritation. For now it is what it is.
Cheers,
