I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of Python 2.7.16
for download at https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/.
On Windows 10, this is an 'unrecognized app' and Windows Defender
SmartScreen, now default, refuses to run it. "Windows protected your PC"
until one clicks 'more info' to get 'Run anyway'. This is new since the
.rc1 release. We should either make 2.7 a 'known' app* or say something
on the download page about clicking 'more info'. I don't know the
status of python.org 3.x downloads.
Since Steve Dower put 3.7 on the Windows store, PSF must now be a known
publisher. Perhaps he can help make 2.7 'known'.
SmartScreen should recognize it now that it's been downloaded a few
times without reporting, but the real problem is that it hasn't been
signed properly. (I don't have any validation set up for Python 2 on this.)
I'll try and sign the version on my build machine by hand and upload it
again this week, and maybe add a validation step to interrupt the upload
if it's not signed, but anything Python 2 is a very low priority for me
(sorry Benjamin :) ).
Cheers,
Steve
