I am sorry you have an issue with python on Ubuntu. By policy, Ubuntu does not blindly upgrade toolchains to point releases in an LTS release, but we go through extensive validation with rebuild and autopkgtests across all of our supported 6 architectures, which is usually in excess of upstream testing. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
Note your bug report suggests that you are using out of date package. rc1 is not the latest version of python2.7 in bionic. It has been updated to final release, and has had security updates since. Can you please verify you are using 2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.2 ? What particular issue are you having? Can you provide a minimized reproducer? Traceback? Segfault / coredump? If we have those details about the issue you are experiencing we can work towards resolving it with regression testcase, patch and eventual release of an SRU. I understand you feel frustrated, but please take some time to explain in detail the issue you are experiencing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853525 Title: no python 2.7.17 in LTS version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1853525/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
