Python 2.5 is not supported by *us* anymore (*). Anyone still using it therefore relies on their OS vendor to apply potential security patches and other important fixes. Library authors can of course choose to still support it. I wouldn't care personally. I'm of the opinion that people who (by their choice of OS) have a preference for legacy software shouldn't ask for the latest versions of Python libraries. (*) From http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.6/ : “This release is the final release of Python 2.5; under the current release policy, no security issues in Python 2.5 will be fixed anymore.” Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
