Python 3.13 managed layer support

[ayongbannayan]

Add a managed layer for Python 3.13.

I know that Python 3.13 was only recently added to AWS Lambda, is there a normal timeline for this scenario?

Thanks @ayongbannayan good call - Python 3.13 was just added in AWS Lambda this November. I do not see Python 3.13 layers option in AWS Lambda Layers just yet but we should definitely prepare, starting with adding Python 3.13 support for AWS SDK for pandas itself, and add layers immediately after this option is available in the console. I will look into that.

@kukushking thanks for the update. Do you mean you're not seeing Python 3.13 when creating a layer through the console? It does appear in my console and Powertools for AWS Lambda also has their layers for python 3.13

• arn:aws:lambda:ca-central-1:017000801446:layer:AWSLambdaPowertoolsPythonV3-python313-arm64:4
• arn:aws:lambda:ca-central-1:017000801446:layer:AWSLambdaPowertoolsPythonV3-python313-x86_64:4

Apologies if I misunderstood, regardless looking forward to the new layers.

I don't see the layer added in the documentation. Have they been deployed?

@kukushking I saw you just reopened the issue - would it be best to use Python v3.12 for now or is it likely a v3.13 compatible layer will be available shortly? Thank you!

Hi @jaypinho 3.13 layers will come soon (ETA ~1-2 weeks). We aim to release another patch to address a dependency issue so layers will be released at the same time.

hey @ayongbannayan @jaypinho - layers for Python 3.13 released! 🚀
