Why are they removed? -- anatoly t.

Nothing was removed. From that page: "This is a source-only release that only includes security fixes."

Oh. Thanks. The page should have a more prominent Download section with a direct link to a page with previous release binaries.

That's right next to the other sentence I mentioned: "The last full bug-fix release of Python 2.5 was Python 2.5.4http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/ ." Not many

people know English to figure this out from the text even if they are able to follow AppEngine tutorials in Russian. -- anatoly t.

There hasn't been a problem with this in the past that I know of, so I suspect a lot of people actually do understand the page and English, but I imagine translations of the page might be accepted.

That's right next to the other sentence I mentioned: "The last full bug-fix release of Python 2.5 was Python 2.5.4."

That's not consistent with the download section present on all other pages.

Deliberately so - we don't really want people to download those binary releases while naively thinking they're getting all the security fixes from the source-only updates (see also the notice at the top of the 2.5.4 page).
