Name : python Product : Fedora 11 Version : 2.6 Release : 12.fc11 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. This package contains most of the standard Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update includes a backported fix for a problem where distutils's "register" command would generate an invalid configuration file (.pypirc) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Nov 3 2009 David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> - 2.6-12 - Patch distutils to fix autogenerated pypirc (patch 17; bug 510657) * Sat Jul 4 2009 Jonathan Steffan <jstef...@fedoraproject.org> - 2.6-11 - Move python-config to devel subpackage (#506153) - Update BuildRoot for new standard * Sun Jun 28 2009 Jonathan Steffan <jstef...@fedoraproject.org> - 2.6-10 - Update python-tools description (#448940) * Mon Jun 8 2009 James Antill <ja...@fedoraproject.org> 2.6-9 - Import upstream fixes for logging unicode, revisions 71658 and 71795. - Resolves: bug#504407 * Wed Apr 15 2009 Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet+...@gmail.com> 2.6-8 - Replace python-hashlib and python-uuid (#484715) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #510657 - distutils creates a broken pypirc and can't upload https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510657 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
