Attempts to reproduce his alleged problem in a verifiable manner on his "work

is in sys.version
User (work): sys.version: 2.7 (r27:82500, Aug 23 2010, 17:18:21) etc
Me : sys.version: 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) etc
I have just now downloaded the Windows x86 msi from www.python.org and
reinstalled it on another computer. It gives the same result as on my primary
computer (above).
User result looks whacked: lower patch number, later date. www.python.org says
"Python 2.7 was released on July 3rd, 2010."
Is it possible that the "work computer" is using an unofficial release? What
other possibilities are there?
ActivePython 2.7.0.2 was released on Aug 25:
