It is my privilege to present you with another release in the Python 2.7
series, Python 2.7.12.

Since the release candidate, there were two changes:
- The Windows binaries have been changed to use OpenSSL 1.0.2h. 
- The "about" dialog in IDLE was fixed.

Downloads, as always, are on python.org:
    https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2712/

The complete 2.7.12 changelog is available at
    https://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/v2.7.12/Misc/NEWS

Yet another Python 2.7.x release is anticipated near the end of the
year. Numerologists may wish to upgrade to Python 3 before we hit the
unlucky 2.7.13.

Servus,
Benjamin
2.7 release manager
