[Python-Dev] [RELEASED] Python 2.7.5

[Ben Hoyt]

Thanks, Benjamin -- that's great!

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?
