Hello to all you Pythoneers and Pythonistas,

I'm happy to announce the availability of Python 2.6.7 release candidate 2. Release candidate 1 was not widely announced due to a mismatch between the Mercurial and Subversion branches. Barring any unforeseen issues, this will be the last release candidate before 2.6.7 final, which is currently scheduled for June 3, 2011.

As previously announced, Python 2.6 is in security-fix only mode. This means that general bug fix maintenance has ended, and only critical security fixes are supported. We will support Python 2.6 in security-fix only mode until October 2013. Also, this is a source-only release; no installers for Windows or Mac OS X will be provided.

Please download and test this release candidate.

Enjoy, -Barry (on behalf of the Python development community)
