Highlights

\n\n
    \n\n

  • Tim Peters developed a brand new Windows installer using Wise 8.1,\ngenerously donated to us by \nWise Solutions.\n\n

  • Type/Class Unification: A new way of introspecting instances of\nbuilt-in types (PEP\n252) and the ability to subclass built-in types (PEP 253) have been\nadded. Here is a tutorial on these\nfeatures.\n\n

  • Iterators (PEP 234) and\ngenerators (PEP\n255) were added. The second PEP adds a new reserved word,\n\"yield\", which must be enabled by adding \"from __future__ import\ngenerators\" to the top of every module that uses it. Without that,\n\"yield\" is treated as an identifier but a warning is issued.\n\n

  • The floor division operator // has been added as outlined in \nPEP\n238. The / operator still provides classic division (and will until\nPython 3.0) unless \"from __future__ import division\" is included, in\nwhich case the / operator will provide true division.\n\n

  • Integer overflow is now a thing of the past; when small integer\noperations have a result that's too large to represent as a small\ninteger, a long integer is now returned. See PEP 237.\n\n

  • Barry Warsaw's mimelib\npackage is now part of the standard library. It has been renamed to the\nemail package, and there have been some API changes.\n\n

  • Fredrik Lundh's\nxmlrpclib is now a standard library module.\nThis provides full client-side XML-RPC support. A server class is\nalso provided (module SimpleXMLRPCServer).\n\n

  • Large file support is now enabled on Win32 and Win64 platforms,\nand automatically configured (at least on Linux and Solaris).\n\n

Download the release

\n

Starting with the Python 2.4 releases the Windows Python\ninstaller is being distributed as a Microsoft Installer (.msi) file.\nTo use this, the Windows system must support Microsoft Installer\n2.0. Just save the installer file,\nPython-2.5.msi,\nto your local machine, then double-click python-2.5.msi to find\nout if your machine supports MSI. If it doesn't, you'll need to\ninstall Microsoft Installer first. Many other packages (such as Word\nand Office) also include MSI, so you may already have it on your system.\nIf not, you can download it freely from Microsoft for\nWindows 95, 98 and Me\nand for\nWindows NT 4.0 and 2000.\nWindows XP and later already have MSI; many older machines will already\nhave MSI installed.

\n

The new format installer allows for\nautomated installation and\nmany other shiny new features.\nThere are also separate installers for Win64-Itanium users\n(on XP/2003 64-bit Itanium Edition) -\nPython-2.5.ia64.msi\nand for Win64 users on AMD64 machines\n(on XP/2003/Vista x64 Edition) -\nPython-2.5.amd64.msi.

\n

Windows users may also be interested in Mark Hammond's\npywin32 package,\navailable from\nSourceforge.\npywin32 adds a number of Windows-specific extensions to Python, including\nCOM support and the Pythonwin IDE.

\n\n\n\n

Users of Mac OS X 10.3 and later can install a universal binary (suitable for\nboth PowerPC and Intel machines) from python-2.5-macosx.dmg .\nDownload to the desktop and open the .dmg file to install.

\n

All others should download either\npython-2.5.tgz or\npython-2.5.tar.bz2,\nthe source archive. The tar.bz2 is considerably smaller, so get that one if\nyour system has the appropriate tools to deal\nwith it. Unpack it with tar -zxvf Python-2.5.tgz (or\nbzcat Python-2.5.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -).\nChange to the Python-2.5 directory and run the "./configure", "make",\n"make install" commands to compile and install Python.

\n
\nSince this is a new version of Python, you may want to use the\n"make altinstall" command instead of "make install" - this will\ninstall a "python2.5" binary without touching the existing "python"\nbinary.
\n

The source archive is also suitable for Windows users who feel the need\nto build their own version.

Python 2.5.1 was released on April 18th, 2007.

\n

This is the first bugfix release of Python 2.5. Python 2.5 is now in\nbugfix-only mode; no new features are being added. According to the\nrelease notes, over 150 bugs and patches have been squished since\nPython 2.5, including a fair number in the new AST compiler (an internal\nimplementation detail of the Python interpreter).

\n

See the detailed release notes for more details.

\n

Since the release candidate, we have backed out a couple of small changes\nthat caused 2.5.1 to behave differently to 2.5. Again, see the release\nnotes for more.

\n

For more information on the new features of Python 2.5.1 see the\n2.5 highlights or consult Andrew Kuchling's\nWhat's New In Python\nfor a more detailed view.

We are pleased to announce the release of Python 2.4, final\non November 30, 2004. This is a final, stable release, and we\ncan recommend that Python users upgrade to this version.

\n
\n

Important: This release is vulnerable to the problem described in\nsecurity advisory PSF-2006-001\n"Buffer overrun in repr() of unicode strings in wide unicode\nbuilds (UCS-4)". This fix is included in Python 2.4.4

\n

Note: there's a security fix\nfor SimpleXMLRPCServer.py - this fix is included in 2.4.1

\n
\n

Python 2.4 is the result of almost 18 month's worth of work on top\nof Python 2.3 and represents another stage in the careful evolution\nof Python. New language features have been kept to a minimum, many\nbugs have been fixed and a variety of improvements\nhave been made.

\n

Notable changes in Python 2.4 include improvements to the importing of\nmodules, function decorators, generator expressions, a number of new\nmodules (including subprocess, decimal and cookielib) and a host of\nbug fixes and other improvements. See the (subjective)\nhighlights or the detailed release notes\nfor more, or consult Andrew Kuchling's\nWhat's New In Python\nfor a detailed view of some of the new features of Python 2.4.

\n

Please see the separate bugs page for known\nissues and the bug reporting procedure.

\n
\n

Download the release

\n

Starting with the Python 2.4 releases the Windows Python\ninstaller is being distributed as a Microsoft Installer (.msi) file.\nTo use this, the Windows system must support Microsoft Installer\n2.0. Just save the installer file\npython-2.4.msi\nto your local machine, then double-click python-2.4.msi to find\nout if your machine supports MSI. If it doesn't, you'll need to\ninstall Microsoft Installer first. Many other packages (such as\nWord and Office) also include MSI, so you\nmay already have it on your system. If not, you can download it freely\nfrom Microsoft for Windows 95, 98 and Me and for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000. Windows XP and later already have MSI; many\nolder machines will already have MSI installed.

\n

The new format installer allows for automated installation and many other shiny new features. There is also a separate installer\npython-2.4.ia64.msi\nfor Win64-Itanium users.

\n

Windows users may also be\ninterested in Mark Hammond's pywin32 package, available from Sourceforge. pywin32 adds a number of Windows-specific\nextensions to Python, including COM support and the Pythonwin IDE.

\n

Debian users using Sarge: Python\n2.4 has already been packaged for you. Simply apt-get install python2.4.\nNote that you will also need to install python2.4 versions of any other\nmodules you use.

\n

All others should download either\nPython-2.4.tgz or\nPython-2.4.tar.bz2,\nthe source archive. The tar.bz2 is considerably smaller, so get that one if\nyour system has the appropriate tools to deal with it. Unpack it with\ntar -zxvf Python-2.4.tgz (or\nbzcat Python-2.4.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -).\nChange to the Python-2.4 directory\nand run the "./configure", "make", "make install" commands to compile\nand install Python.

Windows XP and later already have MSI; many\nolder machines will already have MSI installed.

\n

The new format installer allows for automated installation and many other shiny new features. There is also a separate installer\npython-2.4.1.ia64.msi\nfor Win64-Itanium users.

\n

Windows users may also be\ninterested in Mark Hammond's pywin32 package, available from Sourceforge. pywin32 adds a number of Windows-specific\nextensions to Python, including COM support and the Pythonwin IDE.

<h3>What's New?</h3>

\n

<ul>

\n

<li>See the <a href="../2.3/highlights">highlights</a> of the\nPython 2.3 release. As noted, the 2.3.2 release is a bugfix release\nof 2.3.1, itself a bugfix release of 2.3.

\n

<p><li>The Windows installer now includes the documentation in searchable\nhtmlhelp format, rather than individual HTML files. You can still download the\n<a href="/ftp/python/doc/2.3.2/">individual HTML files</a>.

\n

<p><li>Andrew Kuchling's <a href="/doc/2.3/whatsnew/">What's New\nin Python 2.3</a> describes the most visible changes since <a\nhref="../2.2.3/">Python 2.2</a> in more detail.

\n

<p><li>A detailed list of the changes is in the <a\nhref="NEWS.txt">release notes</a>, or the <tt>Misc/NEWS</tt> file in\nthe source distribution.

\n

<p><li>For the full list of changes, you can poke around in <a\nhref="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5470">CVS</a>.

\n

<p><li>The PSF's <a href="/psf/press-release/pr20031003">press\nrelease</a> announcing 2.3.2.

\n

</ul>

\n

<h3>Documentation</h3>

\n

<p>The documentation has been updated too:

\n

<ul>

\n

<li><a href="/doc/2.3.2/">Browse HTML documentation on-line</a>

\n

<li>Download using <a href="/ftp/python/doc/2.3.2/">HTTP</a>.

\n

</ul>

\n

<p>The <a href="../2.2.3/descrintro">interim documentation for\nnew-style classes</a>, last seen for Python 2.2.3, is still relevant\nfor Python 2.3.2. Raymond Hettinger has also written a <a\nhref="http://users.rcn.com/python/download/Descriptor.htm">tutorial on\ndescriptors</a>, introduced in Python 2.2.\nIn addition, <a href="/download.releases/2.3/mro">The Python 2.3 Method\nResolution Order</a> is a nice paper by Michele Simionato that\nexplains the C3 MRO algorithm (new in Python 2.3) clearly. (Also\navailable as <a href="/download/releases/2.3/mro/mro.txt">reStructured Text</a>. Copied with\npermission.)

\n

Python 3.2.5 was released on May 15th, 2013. This release fixes a few\nregressions found in\nPython 3.2.4, and is planned to be the final 3.2 series bugfix release.

\n
\n

New features of the 3.2 series, compared to 3.1

\n

Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the Python\n3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line will only receive\nbugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only.

\n

Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there are\nno changes in Python's syntax and only few changes to built-in types in Python\n3.2. Development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for\nporting code to Python 3. Highlights are:

\n
    \n
  • numerous improvements to the unittest module
    • \n
  • PEP 3147, support for .pyc repository directories
    • \n
  • PEP 3149, support for version tagged dynamic libraries
    • \n
  • PEP 3148, a new futures library for concurrent programming
    • \n
  • PEP 384, a stable ABI for extension modules
    • \n
  • PEP 391, dictionary-based logging configuration
    • \n
  • an overhauled GIL implementation that reduces contention
    • \n
  • an extended email package that handles bytes messages
    • \n
  • a much improved ssl module with support for SSL contexts and certificate\nhostname matching
    • \n
  • a sysconfig module to access configuration information
    • \n
  • additions to the shutil module, among them archive file support
    • \n
  • many enhancements to configparser, among them mapping protocol support
    • \n
  • improvements to pdb, the Python debugger
    • \n
  • countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support\nfor a bytes environment (filenames, environment variables)
    • \n
  • many consistency and behavior fixes for numeric operations
    • \n

On April 8 2002, we're releasing Python 2.1.3 - a bugfix\nrelease of Python 2.1. This release has a\nsmall number of critical bug fixes. \n\n

This is the final release of Python 2.1.3.\n\n

While the most recent release of Python is 2.2, there are a couple of\nbugs that have come up since 2.1.2 was released, in particular one bug\nthat caused Zope to crash.\n\n

What's New?

\n\n

<p>On April 8 2002, we're releasing <b>Python 2.1.3</b> - a bugfix\nrelease of <a href="../2.1/">Python 2.1</a>. This release has a\nsmall number of critical bug fixes.

\n

<p>This is the final release of <b>Python 2.1.3</b>.

\n

<p>While the most recent release of Python is 2.2, there are a couple of\nbugs that have come up since 2.1.2 was released, in particular one bug\nthat caused <a href="http://www.zope.org/">Zope</a> to crash.

Download the release

\n\n

Windows users should download the Windows installer, Python-2.3.4.exe, run\nit and follow the friendly instructions on the screen to complete the\ninstallation. Windows users may also be interested in Mark Hammond's\nwin32all, a collection of Windows-specific extensions including\nCOM support and Pythonwin, an IDE built using Windows components.

\n\n

RPMs suitable for Red Hat/Fedora and source RPMs for other RPM-using\noperating systems are available from the RPMs page.\n\n

All others should download either \nPython-2.3.4.tgz or\nPython-2.3.4.tar.bz2,\nthe source archive. The tar.bz2 is considerably smaller, so get that one if\nyour system has the appropriate \ntools to deal with it. Unpack it with \n\"tar -zxvf Python-2.3.4.tgz\" (or \n\"bzcat Python-2.3.4.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -\"). \nChange to the Python-2.3.4 directory\nand run the \"./configure\", \"make\", \"make install\" commands to compile \nand install Python. The source archive is also suitable for Windows users\nwho feel the need to build their own version.\n\n

Warning for Solaris and HP-UX users: Some versions of the\nSolaris and HP/UX versions of tar(1) report checksum\nerrors and are unable to unpack the Python source tree.\nThis is caused by some pathnames being too\nlong for the vendor's version. Use\nGNU tar instead.\n\n

Python 3.2.2 was released on September 4th, 2011. It mainly fixes a\nregression in the urllib.request module\nthat prevented opening many HTTP resources correctly with Python 3.2.1.

\n

Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the Python\n3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line will only receive\nbugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only.

\n

Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there are\nno changes in Python's syntax and only few changes to built-in types in Python\n3.2. Development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for\nporting code to Python 3. Highlights are:

\n
    \n
  • numerous improvements to the unittest module
    • \n
  • PEP 3147, support for .pyc repository directories
    • \n
  • PEP 3149, support for version tagged dynamic libraries
    • \n
  • PEP 3148, a new futures library for concurrent programming
    • \n
  • PEP 384, a stable ABI for extension modules
    • \n
  • PEP 391, dictionary-based logging configuration
    • \n
  • an overhauled GIL implementation that reduces contention
    • \n
  • an extended email package that handles bytes messages
    • \n
  • a much improved ssl module with support for SSL contexts and certificate\nhostname matching
    • \n
  • a sysconfig module to access configuration information
    • \n
  • additions to the shutil module, among them archive file support
    • \n
  • many enhancements to configparser, among them mapping protocol support
    • \n
  • improvements to pdb, the Python debugger
    • \n
  • countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support\nfor a bytes environment (filenames, environment variables)
    • \n
  • many consistency and behavior fixes for numeric operations

\n

Python 3.2 was released on February 20th, 2011.

\n

Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the Python\n3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line will only receive\nbugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only.

\n

Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there are\nno changes in Python's syntax and only few changes to built-in types in Python\n3.2. Development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for\nporting code to Python 3. Highlights are:

\n
    \n
  • numerous improvements to the unittest module
    • \n
  • PEP 3147, support for .pyc repository directories
    • \n
  • PEP 3149, support for version tagged dynamic libraries
    • \n
  • PEP 3148, a new futures library for concurrent programming
    • \n
  • PEP 384, a stable ABI for extension modules
    • \n
  • PEP 391, dictionary-based logging configuration
    • \n
  • an overhauled GIL implementation that reduces contention
    • \n
  • an extended email package that handles bytes messages
    • \n
  • a much improved ssl module with support for SSL contexts and certificate\nhostname matching
    • \n
  • a sysconfig module to access configuration information
    • \n
  • additions to the shutil module, among them archive file support
    • \n
  • many enhancements to configparser, among them mapping protocol support
    • \n
  • improvements to pdb, the Python debugger
    • \n
  • countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support\nfor a bytes environment (filenames, environment variables)
    • \n
  • many consistency and behavior fixes for numeric operations
    • \n

Download the release

\n\n

Windows users should download the Windows installer, Python-2.3.3.exe, run\nit and follow the friendly instructions on the screen to complete the\ninstallation. Windows users may also be interested in Mark Hammond's\nwin32all, a collection of Windows-specific extensions including\nCOM support and Pythonwin, an IDE built using Windows components.

\n\n

RPMs suitable for Red Hat/Fedora and source RPMs for other RPM-using\noperating systems are available from the RPMs page.\n\n

All others should download either \nPython-2.3.3.tgz or\nPython-2.3.3.tar.bz2, \nthe source archive. The tar.bz2 is considerably smaller, so get that one if\nyour system has the appropriate \ntools to deal with it. Unpack it with \n\"tar -zxvf Python-2.3.3.tgz\" (or \n\"bzcat Python-2.3.3.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -\"). \nChange to the Python-2.3.3 directory\nand run the \"./configure\", \"make\", \"make install\" commands to compile \nand install Python. The source archive is also suitable for Windows users\nwho feel the need to build their own version.\n\n

Warning for Solaris/HP-UX users: Some versions of the\nSolaris and HP/UX versions of tar(1) report checksum\nerrors and are unable to unpack the Python source tree.\nThis is caused by some pathnames being too\nlong for the vendor's version. Use\nGNU tar instead.\n\n

This is the last bugfix release of Python 2.5. Future releases of\nPython 2.5 will only contain security patches; no new features are\nbeing added, and no "regular" bugs will be fixed anymore. According to\nthe release notes, about 80 bugs and patches have been addressed since\nPython 2.5.2, many of them improving the stability of the interpreter,\nand improving its portability. Python 2.5.3 unfortunately contained an\nincorrect patch that could cause interpreter crashes; the only change\nin Python 2.5.4 relative to 2.5.4 is the reversal of this patch.\nFuture releases will only address security isses, and no binaries or\ndocumentation updates will be provided in future releases of Python\n2.5.

\n

If you want the latest production version of Python, use\nPython 2.7.2 or later.

\n

See the detailed release notes for more details.

\n

For more information on the new features of Python 2.5 see the\n2.5 highlights or consult Andrew Kuchling's\nWhat's New In Python\nfor a more detailed view.

Windows

\n

For x86 processors: python-2.5.4.msi

\n

For Win64-Itanium users: python-2.5.4.ia64.msi

\n

For Win64-AMD64 users: python-2.5.4.amd64.msi

\n

This installer allows for automated installation and many other new features.

\n

To use these installers, the Windows system must support Microsoft\nInstaller 2.0. Just save the installer file to your local machine and\nthen run it to find out if your machine supports\nMSI.

\n

Windows XP and later already have MSI; many older machines will\nalready have MSI installed.

\n

If your machine lacks Microsoft Installer, you'll have to download it\nfreely from Microsoft for Windows 95, 98 and Me\nand for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000.

\n

Windows users may also be interested in Mark Hammond's\npywin32 package,\navailable from\nSourceforge.\npywin32 adds a number of Windows-specific extensions to Python, including COM support and the Pythonwin IDE.

Binary installer support for OS X 10.4 and 10.3.9 to be discontinued

\n

Python 2.7.7 is the last release for which binary installers will be\nreleased on python.org that support Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) and 10.4.x\n(Tiger) systems. For Python 2.7.7 only, we are providing three OS X\nbinary installers: the unchanged 10.6+ 64-bit/32-bit format, the deprecated 10.3+ 32-bit-only format,\nand the newer 10.5+ 32-bit-only format.\nSee the README included with the installer downloads for more information.

\n\n\n\n\n\n
[1](1, 2) The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture (formerly EM64T), i.e. the architecture that Microsoft calls x64, and AMD called x86-64 before calling it AMD64. They will not work on Intel Itanium Processors (formerly IA-64).
