[RELEASE] Python 2.7.15

Tue May 1 00:09:55 EDT 2018

Greetings,
I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of Python 2.7.15, the latest bug fix release in the senescent Python 2.7 series.

Source and binary downloads may be found on python.org:

     https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2715/

Bugs should be reported to https://bugs.python.org/

The source tarball contains a complete changelog in the Misc/NEWS file. The only change since the release candidate is a fix for undefined C behavior that newer compilers (including GCC 8) have started to exploit.

Users of the macOS binaries should note that all python.org macOS installers now ship with a builtin copy of OpenSSL. Additionally, there is a new additional installer variant for macOS 10.9+ that includes a built-in version of Tcl/Tk 8.6. See the installer README for more information.

Happy May,
Benjamin
2.7 release manager
