[RELEASE] Python 2.7.18, the end of an era
I'm eudaemonic to announce the immediate availability of Python 2.7.18. Python 2.7.18 is a special release. I refer, of course, to the fact that "2.7.18" is the closest any Python version number will ever approximate e, Euler's number. Simply exquisite! A less transcendent property of Python 2.7.18 is that it is the last Python 2.7 release and therefore the last Python 2 release. It's time for the CPython community to say a fond but firm farewell to Python 2. Users still on Python 2 can use e to compute the instantaneously compounding interest on their technical debt. Download this unique, commemorative Python release on python.org: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/ Python 2.7 has been under active development since the release of Python 2.6, more than 11 years ago. Over all those years, CPython's core developers and contributors sedulously applied bug fixes to the 2.7 branch, no small task as the Python 2 and 3 branches diverged. There were large changes midway through Python 2.7's life such as PEP 466's feature backports to the ssl module and hash randomization. Traditionally, these features would never have been added to a branch in maintenance mode, but exceptions were made to keep Python 2 users secure. Thank you to CPython's community for such dedication. Python 2.7 was lucky to have the services of two generations of binary builders and operating system experts, Martin von Löwis and Steve Dower for Windows, and Ronald Oussoren and Ned Deily for macOS. The reason we provided binary Python 2.7 releases for macOS 10.9, an operating system obsoleted by Apple 4 years ago, or why the "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7" exists is the dedication of these individuals. I thank the past and present Python release managers, Barry Warsaw, Ned Deily, Georg Brandl, Larry Hastings, and Łukasz Langa for their advice and support over the years. I've learned a lot from them—like don't be the sucker who volunteers to manage the release right before a big compatibility break! Python 3 would be nowhere without the critical work of the wider community. Library maintainers followed CPython by maintaining Python 2 support for many years but also threw their weight behind the Python 3 statement (https://python3statement.org). Linux distributors chased Python 2 out of their archives. Users migrated hundreds of millions of lines of code, developed porting guides, and kept Python 2 in their brain while Python 3 gained 10 years of improvements. Finally, thank you to GvR for creating Python 0.9, 1, 2, and 3. Long live Python 3+!

[RELEASED] Python 2.7.5
It is my greatest pleasure to announce the release of Python 2.7.5. 2.7.5 is the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. You may be surprised to hear from me so soon, as Python 2.7.4 was released slightly more than a month ago. As it turns out, 2.7.4 had several regressions and incompatibilities with 2.7.3. Among them were regressions in the zipfile, gzip, and logging modules. 2.7.5 fixes these. In addition, a data file for testing in the 2.7.4 tarballs and binaries aroused the suspicion of some virus checkers. The 2.7.5 release removes this file to resolve that issue. For details, see the Misc/NEWS file in the distribution or view it at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/ab05e7dd2788/Misc/NEWS Downloads are at http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/ As always, please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ (Thank you to those who reported these bugs in 2.7.4.)

[RELEASED] Second release candidates for Python 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5, and 3.2.3
We're chuffed to announce the immediate availability of the second release candidates for Python 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5, and 3.2.3. The only change from the first release candidates is the patching of an additional security hole. The security issue fixed in the second release candidates is in the expat XML parsing library. expat had the same hash security issue detailed below as Python's core types. The hashing algorithm used in the expat library is now randomized. A more thorough explanation of the hash attack security hole follows. The main impetus for these releases is fixing a security issue in Python's hash based types, dict and set, as described below. Python 2.7.3 and 3.2.3 include the security patch and the normal set of bug fixes. Since Python 2.6 and 3.1 are maintained only for security issues, 2.6.8 and 3.1.5 contain only various security patches. The security issue exploits Python's dict and set implementations. Carefully crafted input can lead to extremely long computation times and denials of service. [1] Python dict and set types use hash tables to provide amortized constant time operations. Hash tables require a well-distributed hash function to spread data evenly across the hash table. The security issue is that an attacker could compute thousands of keys with colliding hashes; this causes quadratic algorithmic complexity when the hash table is constructed. To alleviate the problem, the new releases add randomization to the hashing of Python's string types (bytes/str in Python 3 and str/unicode in Python 2), datetime.date, and datetime.datetime. This prevents an attacker from computing colliding keys of these types without access to the Python process. Hash randomization causes the iteration order of dicts and sets to be unpredictable and differ across Python runs. Python has never guaranteed iteration order of keys in a dict or set, and applications are advised to never rely on it. Historically, dict iteration order has not changed very often across releases and has always remained consistent between successive executions of Python. Thus, some existing applications may be relying on dict or set ordering. Because of this and the fact that many Python applications which don't accept untrusted input are not vulnerable to this attack, in all stable Python releases mentioned here, HASH RANDOMIZATION IS DISABLED BY DEFAULT. There are two ways to enable it. The -R commandline option can be passed to the python executable. It can also be enabled by setting an environmental variable PYTHONHASHSEED to random. (Other values are accepted, too; pass -h to python for complete description.) More details about the issue and the patch can be found in the oCERT advisory [1] and the Python bug tracker [2]. These releases are releases candidates and thus not recommended for production use. Please test your applications and libraries with them, and report any bugs you encounter. We are especially interested in any buggy behavior observed using hash randomization. Excepting major calamity, final versions should appear after several weeks.

[RELEASE] Python 2.7.2
On behalf of the Python development team, I'm rosy to announce the immediate availability of Python 2.7.2. Since the release candidate 2 weeks ago, there have been 2 changes: 1. pyexpat.__version__ has be changed to be the Python version. 2. A regression from 3.1.3 in the handling of comments in the netrc module has been resolved. (see issue #12009). 2.7.2 is the second in bugfix release for the Python 2.7 series. 2.7 is the last major verison of the 2.x line and will be receiving only bug fixes while new feature development focuses on 3.x. The 2.7 series includes many features that were first released in Python 3.1. The faster io module, the new nested with statement syntax, improved float repr, set literals, dictionary views, and the memoryview object have been backported from 3.1. Other features include an ordered dictionary implementation, unittests improvements, a new sysconfig module, auto-numbering of fields in the str/unicode format method, and support for ttk Tile in Tkinter.

[RELEASED] Python 3.1.4
On behalf of the Python development team, I'm sanguine to announce a release candidate for the fourth bugfix release for the Python 3.1 series, Python 3.1.4. Since the 3.1.4 release candidate 2 weeks ago, there have been three changes: 1. test_zipfile has been fixed on systems with an ASCII filesystem encoding. 2. pyexpat.__version__ has be changed to be the Python version. 3. A regression from 2.7.1 in the handling of comments in the netrc module has been resolved. (see issue #12009). 3.1.4 will the last bug fix release in the 3.1 series before 3.1. After 3.1.4, 3.1 will be in security-only fix mode. The Python 3.1 version series focuses on the stabilization and optimization of the features and changes that Python 3.0 introduced. For example, the new I/O system has been rewritten in C for speed. File system APIs that use unicode strings now handle paths with undecodable bytes in them. Other features include an ordered dictionary implementation, a condensed syntax for nested with statements, and support for ttk Tile in Tkinter.
