On behalf of the Python development team and the Python
community, I'm happy to announce the release of Python 2.4.3
(release candidate 1).
Python 2.4.3 is a bug-fix release. See the release notes at
the website (also available as Misc/NEWS in the source
distribution) for details of the more than 50 bugs squished
in this release, including a number found by the Coverity
Scan project.
Assuming no major problems crop up, a final release of
Python 2.4.3 will follow in about a week's time.
For more information on Python 2.4.3, including download
links for various platforms, release notes, and known issues,
please see:

Highlights of this new release include:
- Bug fixes. According to the release notes, at least 50
have been fixed since 2.4.2.

On a personal note, according to my records this is the 25th
release of Python I've made as release manager.
So enjoy this silver anniversary release,
Anthony
