[Python-Dev] RELEASED Python 2.4.4, Final.

2006-10-19 Thread Anthony Baxter
On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the release of Python 2.4.4 (FINAL). Python 2.4.4 is a bug-fix release. While Python 2.5 is the latest version of Python, we're making this release for people who are still running Python 2.4. This is the

I noticed that you used both nondeterministic and reproducible though. LOL. The nondeterministic part is that the same calculation will give different answers and there doesn't appear to be a pattern to which of the several answers will occur. The reproducible part is that it happens from
