Name : python Product : Fedora 16 Version : 2.7.3 Release : 3.fc16 URL : http://www.python.org/ Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC). Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. This package provides the "python" executable; most of the actual implementation is within the "python-libs" package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fix for symlink issue with python-config (bug 813836) introduced in python-2.7.3-1.fc16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Apr 19 2012 David Malcolm <[email protected]> - 2.7.3-3 - add explicit version requirements on expat to avoid linkage problems with XML_SetHashSalt * Wed Apr 18 2012 David Malcolm <[email protected]> - 2.7.3-2 - fix -config symlinks (patch 112; rhbz#813836) * Fri Apr 13 2012 David Malcolm <[email protected]> - 2.7.3-1 - 2.7.3; refresh patches 102 (lib64) and 112 (debug build); revise patch 127 (test_structmember); drop upstream patches 11 (tolower) and 115 (pydoc robustness); add python2.pc to python-devel; regenerate the autotool intermediates patch (patch 300) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #813836 - /usr/bin/python-config points to /usr/bin/python2-config instead of /usr/bin/python2.7-config https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813836 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
