-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2020-826b24c329 2020-08-06 03:56:53.814289 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python2 Product : Fedora 31 Version : 2.7.18 Release : 2.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.
