Look at the date. This is Ubuntu's updated 2.7.3. It really should be '2.7.3.1' or '2.7.3b' or '2.7.3-ubuntu' or '2.7.3 -- 2012 Sep 6 update' or even '2.7.4a0'.

contains a fix of this bug

http://bugs.python.org/issue15212

which will be in 2.7.4 for everyone else.

Can someone explain how this 'fix' is leaking out onto his machine?

Ubuntu considers getting fixes to people early a feature, not a 'leak'.


On
all the other machines I have access to I'm seeing something similar to
this

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

Notice the date again -- the original release date of 2.7.3.
