Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the [ blog post ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/) that was published on June 30, 2025.

You install the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on client computers accessing an Amazon Redshift data warehouse. Each computer where you install the driver must meet a list of minimum system requirements. For information about minimum system requirements, see the [Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide](https://s3.amazonaws.com/redshift-downloads/drivers/odbc/1.6.3.1008/Amazon+Redshift+ODBC+Connector+Install+Guide.pdf).
