Upgrade to Python 3.10 o3 3.11

[FriederikeBrezing]

We would like to upgrade our code base to Python 3.10 or 3.11.
Some packages that we would like to use, like PyRit, require Python >= 3.10.
Promptflow still recommends using 3.9.

Describe the solution you'd like
Promptflow should fully support Python 3.10 or higher

Hi @FriederikeBrezing , we publicly support python 3.10 and 3.11. Check here for current supported versions:

[FriederikeBrezing]

Hi, I had seen that but it also says that python 3.9 is recommended.
What is the reason for that? Will it affect the performance if other versions of python are used?

[D-W-]

This is a comment written before we supported Python 3.9. I will delete it to avoid confusion.

The Docker file in the dev container is still based on the python:3.9 image. Can it be upgraded as well?

[adam-lagoda]

@amichel same goes for the default version when building using
pf flow build --source ./flows/standard --output dist --format docker

And the output Dockerfile contains
RUN conda create -n promptflow-serve python=3.9.16 [..] by default
Can this be altered?
I would kindly ask @wangchao1230 to reopen

@wangchao1230 Hey. Please open this issue again

pf flow build --source ./flows/standard --output dist --format docker

And the output Dockerfile contains
RUN conda create -n promptflow-serve python=3.9.16 [..] by default

Please make its version configurable !!!

[adam-lagoda]

python version in the deployed image is fixed in src/promptflow-devkit/promptflow/_sdk/data/docker/Dockerfile.jinja2
Would be great to make this configurable, or at least parsable from the python version from the active environment that is used for the build.

I have added a separate issue to address this feature request
#3937

I also made a PR that solves the problem
