DisplayName: Python should be updated to the latest version for API apps
Description: It's important to regularly update the Python software used in API apps to the latest version.
Newer versions often include security fixes and additional functionalities.
If not updated, the API apps may be exposed to security vulnerabilities present in older versions, potentially leading to breaches.
Staying updated ensures the apps benefit from the latest security patches and features.
