Python 2.7 is not getting any security/crypto updates backported.
There are several projects out there that are supporting python 2.7 with security updates. Tauthon is probably the biggest one.
- busterarm 5y agoThank you. Yes it is good to see some projects stepping up the fill the gaps. I only wonder as time goes on how well socialized these will be...and if people who suddenly find themselves in the position of maintaining an old Python code base will be able to find out what to do.
- dagw 5y agoTauthon is kind of interesting because in addition to guaranteeing compatibility with the latest official 2.7 release they are also trying to back-port as many python 3 feature as makes sense without breaking the backwards comparability.
