Python and PyMEL version changes
Maya now supports Python 3 exclusively, and the version of PyMEL used with Maya has been updated to 1.3.
Maya uses Python version 3.9. If you have plug-ins or scripts written in Python 3.7, you may encounter issues when porting them to Python 3.9 as code compatibility is not guaranteed between these two versions. Consult What's New in Python 3.8 and What's New in Python 3.9 for details.
Maya no longer supports Python2, and can no longer be started in Python 2 mode.
