Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026.
We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life

Collation sequences
Amazon Redshift doesn’t support locale-specific or user-defined collation sequences. In general, the results of any predicate in any context could be affected by the lack of locale-specific rules for sorting and comparing data values. For example, ORDER BY expressions and functions such as MIN, MAX, and RANK return results based on binary UTF8 ordering of the data that does not take locale-specific characters into account.
