I've gotten some mixed signals on the status of this release, notably from the BDFL:
https://twitter.com/gvanrossum/status/991170064417153025 "Python 2.7.15 released -- the last 2.7 release!" (and a link to this thread) I was under the impression that 2.7 was being supported until 2020. If this is the final release of 2.7, what would "support" constitute? My assumption was that the final release of 2.7 would be sometime in 2020 (or much closer to 2020 than 19 months). > -----Original Message----- > From: Python-Dev <python-dev-bounces+tritium- > list=sdamon....@python.org> On Behalf Of Benjamin Peterson > Sent: Tuesday, May 1, 2018 12:10 AM > To: python-l...@python.org; python-annou...@python.org; python- > d...@python.org > Subject: [Python-Dev] [RELEASE] Python 2.7.15 > > Greetings, > I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of Python 2.7.15, the > latest bug fix release in the senescent Python 2.7 series. > > Source and binary downloads may be found on python.org: > > https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2715/ > > Bugs should be reported to https://bugs.python.org/ > > The source tarball contains a complete changelog in the Misc/NEWS file.
