Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2020-6302cf5b27
2020-05-01 00:35:06.353214
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python27
Product : Fedora 32
Version : 2.7.18
Release : 1.fc32
URL :
https://www.python.org/
Summary : Version 2.7 of the Python interpreter
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 Python 2 is not supported upstream after 2020-01-01, please use the
python3 package instead if you can.
This package also provides the "python2" executable.

Update Information:
Python 2.7.18 is a special release. I refer, of course, to the fact
that
"2.7.18" is the closest any Python version number will ever
approximate e,
Euler's number. Simply exquisite! > > A less transcendent property of Python
2.7.18 is that it is the last Python 2.7 release and therefore the last Python 2
release. It's time for the CPython community to say a fond but firm farewell to
Python 2. Users still on Python 2 can use e to compute the instantaneously
compounding interest on their technical debt. -- Benjamin Peterson [in the
announcement](https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-
dev(a)python.org/message/OFCIETIXLX34X7FVK5B5WPZH22HXV342/)
