Note this only bug (which seems to have been reported last March) applies
to Python 2.2.1 or earlier.  It's fixed in Python 2.2.2 and later
releases.

>From http://secunia.com/product/1361/ , it looks like Python 2.2 had a 
pretty good track record.  Only two security advisories, one "moderate" 
one "less [critical]"  That's not bad.

Python 2.3, http://secunia.com/product/1362/ ,  has only one, the 
same "less".
