Python 2.7 has reached end of support
and will be deprecated
on January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy Python 2.7
applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to
re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing Python
2.7 applications will continue to run and receive traffic after their
deprecation date. We recommend that
you migrate to the latest supported version of Python.

An application can test whether the currently signed-in user is a registered administrator for
the application. An administrator is a user who has the Viewer, Editor, or Owner basic
role, or the App Engine App Admin predefined role.
The function users.is_current_user_admin
returns True if the current user is an administrator for the application.
