Maybe someone at python.org should tell the ubuntists not to do that. However, even a proper 2.7.4 release shouldn't change the interface (ie rename module variables). That must be down to someone at python.org. I guess because 2.7 is the last minor release of the 2.x series that the stability requirements have been dumped. Luckily, our code didn't launch any missiles because of this 'fix'. I always recommend people to build their own python for exactly this reason. -- Robin Becker
