Python 2.6.x is in security-fix-only mode until October 2013. Python 2.7 is current and in an extended maintenance mode period (bug fixes, security fixes, no new features); no date has yet been established for when it will move to security-fix-only mode. Python 2.7.x is the final release series for Python 2. Python 3.0.x is end-of-lifed and not supported in any way. Python 3.1.x is in security-fix-only mode until June 2014. Python 3.2.x is currently in maintenance mode but will move to security-fix-only mode soon after its next and final maintenance release in the coming months. Python 3.3.x is current and in maintenance mode. New features are being worked on for Python 3.4, currently planned for release in Feb 2014. http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.6/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.6/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.7/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0.1/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1.5/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.3/ http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/ http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0429/ -- Ned Deily, [email protected] _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
