Thanks, Benjamin -- that's great!

This may not be a python-dev question exactly. But on Windows, is it safe to update to 2.7.5 on top of 2.7.4 (at C:\Python27) using the .msi installer? In other words, will it update/add/remove all the files correctly? What if python.exe is running?

It is my greatest pleasure to announce the release of Python 2.7.5.

2.7.5 is the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. You may be surprised to hear from me so soon, as Python 2.7.4 was released slightly more than a month ago. As it turns out, 2.7.4 had several regressions and incompatibilities with 2.7.3. Among them were regressions in the zipfile, gzip, and logging modules. 2.7.5 fixes these. In addition, a data file for testing in the 2.7.4 tarballs and binaries aroused the suspicion of some virus checkers. The 2.7.5 release removes this file to resolve that issue. For details, see the Misc/NEWS file in the distribution or view it at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/ab05e7dd2788/Misc/NEWS Downloads are at http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/ As always, please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ (Thank you to those who reported these bugs in 2.7.4.) This is a production release. Happy May, Benjamin Peterson 2.7 Release Manager (on behalf of all of Python 2.7's contributors)
