Release2026-09-21

Cloudflare made Python Workers generally available. Python is now a first-class language on the Cloudflare Developer Platform. Developers can use Python frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask directly. Cloudflare bindings now work natively without JavaScript glue code. Hyperdrive support enables PostgreSQL and MySQL connections. AI libraries like OpenAI and LangChain now run natively. PEP 783 standardizes Python-on-WebAssembly package builds. Examples show AI orchestration and real-time stream processing. The rollout is production-ready for all users.
