Name : python2
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 2.7.17
Release : 1.fc31
URL : https://www.python.org/
Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
Description :
Python 2 is an old version of the language that is incompatible with the 3.x
line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially
how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed
considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed in the
3.x line.
Note that documentation for Python 2 is provided in the python2-docs
package.
This package provides the "python2" executable; most of the actual
implementation is within the "python2-libs" package.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Python 2.7.17 is a bug fix release in the Python 2.7.x series. It is expected to
be the penultimate release for Python 2.7.
