Hi everyone, The source tarballs and Windows installer for Python 2.6.5 release candidate 2 are now available: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/ As usual, please download, install, and test them with your favorite projects and environments. A number of regressions and build problems on OS X have been fixed since rc1, and I'm really hoping we will not have to do an rc3. I'm currently planning on releasing 2.6.5 final on March 19, 2010. Enjoy, -Barry P.S. The Mac installer will hopefully be available soon.
