Do bugfix releases for older versions keeps on happening even when new branch is released? Isn't that a lot of work to manage so many versions? > > How do the Python versions work? For how long is Python 2 going to be supported? They're also preparing 2.6.9. Older versions get supported for a long time, not sure of the official schedule. 2.7.x will be supported for even longer, since it's the last of the 2.x series. Python takes backward compatibility and long-term support seriously. --Ned.
