<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Benjamin -- that's great!<div><br></div><div>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?<br>

2.7.5 is the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. You may be<br>
surprised to hear from me so soon, as Python 2.7.4 was released slightly more<br>
than a month ago. As it turns out, 2.7.4 had several regressions and<br>
incompatibilities with 2.7.3. Among them were regressions in the zipfile, gzip,<br>
and logging modules. 2.7.5 fixes these. In addition, a data file for testing in<br>
the 2.7.4 tarballs and binaries aroused the suspicion of some virus<br>
checkers. The 2.7.5 release removes this file to resolve that issue.<br>
