Python 2.7.9 is now in the Proposed for Ubuntu Vivid. My guess is that they are rebuilding/checking libraries and applications to verify they are still working as expected with the newer version, before pushing it to the main archives.
As for backporting to older releases I don't know, but it should be possible to add a request once the package has landed in Vivid. Not familiar with the CVEs, but if possible those should maybe be patched for older releases as well. ** Tags added: upgrade-software-version -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401322 Title: Upgrade to Python 2.7.9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1401322/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
