While using Azure Ai Foundary's Prompt Flow when the compute session needs to be set up it asks for an image it can be provided by azure ( tick mark using Latest image), or a custom image can be provided here. In the image provided by azure that version of python is 3.9.16, but I want to use 3.10.1, but when i try to change the base image and use that custom image then a lot of other errors occurs, So, is there a way through which I can use flow.dag.yaml file to update the version of python?

    Hi Lovedeep Singh,
    Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

    To update the Python version in Azure AI Foundry’s Prompt Flow, you cannot directly modify the flow.dag.yaml file to achieve this, as the Python runtime is determined by the base Docker image used for the compute session. Instead, you can create a custom Docker image that includes Python 3.10.1 and all necessary dependencies. Begin by writing a Dockerfile that installs Python 3.10.1, sets it as the default Python version, and ensures Prompt Flow dependencies are pre-installed. Build and push the image to a container registry, and then configure your compute session in Prompt Flow to use this custom image. Additionally, ensure your flow.dag.yaml file references the correct dependencies, adjusting any compatibility issues that may arise. If you encounter errors, check for missing dependencies or environment variables required by Prompt Flow. This approach gives you control over the Python version while maintaining compatibility with Prompt Flow’s requirements.
