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 final planned release from the Python 2.4 series. Future maintenance releases will be in the 2.5 series, beginning with 2.5.1.

See the release notes at the website (also available as Misc/NEWS in the source distribution) for details of the more than 80 bugs squished in this release, including a number found by the Coverity and Klocwork static analysis tools. We'd like to offer our thanks to both these firms for making this available for open source projects.

There's only been one small change since the release candidate - a fix to "configure" to repair cross-compiling of Python under Unix.

For more information on Python 2.4.4, including download links for various platforms, release notes, and known issues, please see:

Highlights of this new release include:

Enjoy this release, Anthony
