Bug#774222: freeze exception for python2.7, python-stdlib, python-defaults for jessie



Package: release.debian.org
Tags: sid jessie

Please consider the python 2.7.9 release for jessie.  The current version in
testing is a snapshot taken from the 2.7 branch taken around freeze time.

python2.7 fixes RC issue #769078, plus some CVE issues are now resolved upstream
in the release.  At least CVE-2013-1753 extends the API, so I don't just want to
backport this issue.

All upstream changes are mentioned in the Debian changelog (except those for
Windows and MacOSX only).

Compared to the version in testing the autopkg tests pass in unstable.

I don't plan any further updates for python2 for jessie.
