Answer

hello,
We recently launched support for python 3.9 in Glue python shells and simplified the way it works with additional libraries.

For detailed information please have a look at [this blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/aws-glue-python-shell-now-supports-python-3-9-with-a-flexible-pre-loaded-environment-and-support-to-install-additional-libraries/).

hope this helps
