Name : python Product : Fedora 17 Version : 2.7.3 Release : 7.2.fc17 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: Fixes memory leak in hashlib module, also includes patch for Python FTBFS in Rawhide, to keep specfiles in sync. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jul 17 2012 Bohuslav Kabrda <[email protected]> - 2.7.3-7.2 - fix memory leak in module _hashlib (patch 158, rhbz#836285) - fix db4 include path for libdb4 package (f18 and above) (patch 159) * Fri Jun 22 2012 David Malcolm <[email protected]> - 2.7.3-7.1 - use rpm macro for power64 (rhbz#834653) * Fri May 4 2012 David Malcolm <[email protected]> - 2.7.3-7 - renumber autotools patch from 300 to 5000 - specfile cleanups -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #836285 - Memory leak in Python module "_hashlib" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=836285 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
