Will this cause any ABI issues? It isn't clear to me, so I'd like confirmation of your opinion please Matthias before accepting. I do see that the code seems to incorporate some accommodation for the old structure, but I don't know enough about this area to be sure that this fully mitigates any ABI issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python2.7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778960 Title: SRU: Update python 2.7 to the final 2.7.15 release Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS shipped with the python 2.7.15 release candidate.
