Python runtime does not work on Python 3.12 with ASGI

I encountered the same issue @kytta

I, temporarily, solved my issue by downgrading to python 3.9.

There is a pull request which solves the problem - #11541

I also hit this issue - would really like to avoid downgrading both node and python - any idea when the associated PR will be merged and released?

I would say, switch to flask. Sanic won't work either since its an async framework like FastAPI.

If you can't change the code, I suggest using render.com then because clearly Vercel don't have time for the python community.

Also need to set node version to 18.x in package.json using the code below

{
    "engines": {
        "node": "18.x"
    }
}

I actually didn't have to do this, it worked just from changing the setting from the vercel dashboard in the project settings.

Could you please provide an example of vercel.json? I have changed my settings to py3.9 but it doesn't work (still py3.12).

{
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "main.py",
      "use": "@vercel/python",
      "config": {
        "legacy": true
      }
    }
  ],
  "routes": [
    {
      "src": "/(.*)",
      "dest": "main.py"
    }
  ]
}

  "routes": [

      "dest": "main.py"
    }
  ]
}

There is nothing wrong with your config. Also, the config field in the builds object is unnecessary. To tell vercel to pick up the correct version of python, you need to add the "Pipfile" and "Pipfile.lock"

My vercel.json config file looks like:

{
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "app.py",
      "use": "@vercel/python"
    }
  ],
  "routes": [
    {
      "src": "(.*)",
      "dest": "app.py"
    }
  ]
}

My pipfile looks like:

[[source]]
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"

[packages]
fastapi = "==0.111.0"
requests = "==2.31.0"
beautifulsoup4 = "==4.12.3"
html2text = "==2024.2.26"
validators = "==0.28.1"

[dev-packages]

[requires]
python_version = "3.9"
python_full_version = "3.9.13"

yes, but while its not live, the solution should be made clear to the users

Same problem, waiting for the PR to be accepted

+1 FastAPI does not work until this is fixed.

Also need to set node version to 18.x in package.json using the code below

{
    "engines": {
        "node": "18.x"
    }
}
