Hello; The python we are carrying for AOO 4.2.0 (2.7.8) has many security vulnerabilities which may or may not have an effect on AOO.
In order to make future updates and particularly for Python 2.7.9, in fact, we also needed to update OpenSSL, so now that Don updated OpenSSL the basic update became possible. I tested the update on FreeBSD but I had to hack for Windows buildfiles and this requires testing. People that regularly build windows please try this patch: http://people.apache.org/~pfg/patches/python-update.diff If there is no feedback I could try committing the change and keep an eye on the buildbots, although this is certainly not too elegant. Once this change is done, it may be relatively easy to update Python all the way to 2.7.12, the only big change to be aware of is a path change for the Windows build files.
