Not sure what you mean. Are you looking for a single massive patch which updates your 3.4.1 source code to 3.4.2? Or are you looking for a patch which updates your binary? The first isn't necessary; you simply get all the sources for 3.4.2, and that way, you don't have to worry about exactly _what_ you're upgrading from. The second is virtually impossible, because we can't know what your binary is. It's much safer to compile fresh from source. If you're using a package manager to install Python, try to use the package manager to upgrade, too. That's the cleanest way to get the latest - if it's possible. If it isn't, building from source is usually the best option on Linux; on Windows, you'll probably find that it's easier to download the .msi installer and use that. ChrisA
