#45393 — [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.)

This is a production release.

Happy May,
Benjamin Peterson
2.7 Release Manager
(on behalf of all of Python 2.7's contributors)

    Thanks very much.  It's important that Python 2.x be maintained.

    3.x is a different language, with different libraries, and lots of
things that still don't work.  Many old applications will never
be converted.

What still doesn't work in Python 3?

Is Python 2.7.5 last (final, never to be updated) revision or will it still be supported?

There won't be a Python 2.8 (at least, not from python.org), so there
won't be any feature additions to the Python 2 line. It'll be
supported in terms of bugfixes for a good while though, see PEP 373
[1], and of course distributions can do their own backporting of
patches for as long as they like (Red Hat will quite possibly want to
support old Pythons for a long time).

Don't take this list too seriously - some of those do have fully
working and stable Python 3 packages that just aren't in pip, like
python-daemon.

Also, django's py3k support is experimental for now.

#47171 — Python 3 and ‘python-daemon’ (was: [RELEASED] Python 2.7.5)

That's news to me, as the package maintainer. There's no official
‘python-daemon’ release for Python 3. What ‘python-daemon’ works in
Python 3?
