This is requiring me to do a manual install of a more recent version of python, which is fine, but if this is an LTS release lack of support for TLS 1.2 is going to become an even bigger problem going forward. This is specifically a problem with the getmail package. ksanti% lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 root@ksanti:/home/mellon/.getmail# apt-cache policy python2.7 python2.7: Installed: 2.7.6-8 Candidate: 2.7.6-8 Version table: *** 2.7.6-8 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status What I'm expecting: root@ksanti:/home/mellon/Python-2.7.9# python Python 2.7.9 (default, Apr 13 2015, 19:47:19) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import ssl >>> 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2' in dir(ssl) True What I get: root@ksanti:/home/mellon/Python-2.7.9# /usr/bin/python Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import ssl >>> 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2' in dir(ssl) False To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1443704/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
