Python 2.7.6 is now available.

This release resolves crashes of the interactive interpreter on OS X 10.9. The final release also fixes several issues identified in the release candidate. Importantly, a security bug in CGIHTTPServer was fixed [1]. Thank you to those who tested the 2.7.6 release candidate and reported these bugs! All the changes in Python 2.7.6 are described in full detail in the Misc/NEWS file of the source tarball. You can also view online at http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/99d03261c1ba/Misc/NEWS Downloads are at http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/ ''' Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7.6) (sig) Windows x86 MSI program database (2.7.6) (sig) Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (2.7.6) [1] (sig) Windows X86-64 program database (2.7.6) [1] (sig) Windows help file (sig) ''' I presume line 4 should be 'MSI program database'. (3.x pages do not have this.)

Line 5 could add "(included in MSI installers)" for those who do not know. Some programs, like Open/Libre Office, require a separate download and install for Windows help. (This comment applies to 3.x also.)
