Public bug reported: Following @actionparsnip's suggestion, re-filing https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python- defaults/+question/260428 as a bug. Quoted from the original question:
"What are the official plans for Python 2.7.9 (and further 2.7 patch releases) in supported releases? As per PEP 466 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/), these will receive handpicked security-related feature additions from the Python 3 series. Will these new releases be included in released-and-still-supported Ubuntu versions? (I realise Ubuntu releases don't generally get new upstream software versions, but I feel this case might warrant an exception.) Note that I'm specifically asking about the *features* mentioned in PEP 466 (and any future additions), i.e. the new functions in the hmac and hashlib modules and the backported ssl module, not any security issues in existing functionality." ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410544 Title: Upgrade to Python 2.7.9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1410544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
