Within a few weeks, we will release Python 2.5.3. This will be the last bug fix release of Python 2.5, afterwards, future releases of 2.5 will only include security fixes, and no binaries (for Windows or OSX) will be provided anymore (from python.org).

In principle, the release will include all changes that are already on the release25-maint branch in subversion [1]. If you think that specific changes should be considered, please create an issue in the bug tracker [2], and label it with the 2.5.3 version. Backports of changes that are already released in Python 2.6 but may apply to 2.5 are of particular interest. I would like to apply fixes for some CVE's which are addressed in 2.5 but not yet in 2.4. this would include CVE-2007-4965 CVE-2008-1679 CVE-2008-1721 CVE-2008-2315 CVE-2008-3144 CVE-2008-1887 CVE-2008-4864

+1 from a non-core developer who still has to keep sites using 2.4 up and running.
