Hello to all you Pythoneers and Pythonistas,
I'm happy to announce the availability of Python 2.6.7 release candidate 2.

Mercurial and Subversion branches. Barring any unforeseen issues, this will
be the last release candidate before 2.6.7 final, which is currently schedu=

[RELEASED] Release candidates for Python 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5, and 3.2.3We're pleased to announce the immediate availability of release candidates for
Python 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5, and 3.2.3 . The main impetus for these releases is
fixing a security issue in Python's hash based types, dict and set, as described
below. Python 2.7.3 and 3.2.3 include the security patch and the normal set of
bug fixes. Since Python 2.6 and 3.1 are maintained only for security issues,
2.6.8 and 3.1.5 contain only various security patches.
The security issue exploits Python's dict and set implementations. Carefully
crafted input can lead to extremely long computation times and denials of
service. [1] Python dict and set types use hash tables to provide amortized
constant time operations. Hash tables require a well-distributed hash function
to spread data evenly across the hash table. The security issue is that an
attacker could compute thousands of keys with colliding hashes; this causes
quadratic algorithmic complexity when the hash table is constructed. To
alleviate the problem, the new releases add randomization to the hashing of
Python's string types (bytes/str in Python 3 and str/unicode in Python 2),
datetime.date, and datetime.datetime. This prevents an attacker from computing
colliding keys of these types without access to the Python process.
Hash randomization causes the iteration order of dicts and sets to be
unpredictable and differ across Python runs. Python has never guaranteed
iteration order of keys in a dict or set,...

pymozilla is is a proprietary application so I can't share the code.
It's a modified python.exe with builtin Browser module - Python wrapped

Custom nsIProtocolHandler and zip-file-system Python module is used to get
and load files(html,xml,css,images,Python code) from zip
and to resolve and process all ".py" links and html forms. It's pretty like

I had the same problem. I solved it using Webware and SQLite.

What's the problem? Does Python not like having nowhere to save .pyc

Released: Python 2.6.9 release candidate 1Hello Pythoneers and Pythonistas,
I'm happy to announce the availability of Python 2.6.9 release candidate 1.
Python 2.6.9rc1 is a security-fix source-only release for Python 2.6. This
means that general bug maintenance has ended, and only critical security
issues are being fixed. It also means that no installers for Windows or Mac
OS X will be provided. The last binary release of Python 2.6 was 2.6.6.
Python 2.6.9 final is currently scheduled for Monday, October 28, 2013. Five
years after the original release of Python 2.6, the 2.6.9 final release will
be the last release of the Python 2.6 series. After this, all official
maintenance of any kind for Python 2.6 will cease and the series will be
retired.
For ongoing maintenance, please see Python 2.7.
Since 2.6.9 will be the last Python 2.6 release ever, I ask that you please
download Python 2.6.9rc1, build it on your favorite platforms, and test it
with your favorite code. You can report bugs to the Python bug tracker:
http://bugs.python.org
The source can be download from:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/
You can also see what's changed since Python 2.6.8:

help in making Python 2.6.9 available, especially Jyrki Pulliainen for his
patch contributions.

charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline
On behalf of the Python development team and the Python
community, I'm announcing the release of Python 2.3.6
(release candidate 1).
Python 2.3.6 is a security 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 2.3. Unlike the recently
released 2.4.4, this release only contains a small handful of
security-related bugfixes. See the website for more.
* Python 2.3.6 contains a fix for PSF-2006-001, a buffer overrun
* in repr() of unicode strings in wide unicode (UCS-4) builds.
* See http://www.python.org/news/security/PSF-2006-001/ for more.
This is a **source only** release. The Windows and Mac binaries
of 2.3.5 were built with UCS-2 unicode, and are therefore not
vulnerable to the problem outlined in PSF-2006-001. The PCRE fix
is for a long-deprecated module (you should use the 're' module
instead) and the email fix can be obtained by downloading the
standalone version of the email package.
Most vendors who ship Python should have already released a
patched version of 2.3.5 with the above fixes, this release is
for people who need or want to build their own release, but don't
want to mess around with patch or svn.
Assuming no major problems crop up, a final release of Python
2.3.6...

Problem installing matplotlib 1.3.1 with Python 2.7.6 and 3.3.3 (release candidate 1)Hello,
I tried to install matplotlib 1.3.1 on the release candidates of Python 2.7.6 and 3.3.3.
I am on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Although the installation gave no problems, there is a problem with Tcl/Tk.
The new Pythons have their own embedded Tcl/Tk, but when installing matplotlib it links to the Frameworks version of Tcl and TK, not to the embedded version. This causes confusion when importing matplotlib.pyplot:

See the release notes at the website (also available as Misc/NEWS in
the source distribution) for details of bugs fixed; most of them prevent
interpreter crashes (and now cause proper Python exceptions in cases
where the interpreter may have crashed before).
Assuming no major problems crop up, a final release of Python 2.4.6
and 2.5.3 will follow in about a week's time.
