[rhelv6-beta-list] Python-2.7 is released

[Kirby Zhou]

Python 2.7 is scheduled to be the last major version in the 2.x series
before it moves into an extended maintenance period. This release contains
many of the features that were first released in Python 3.1. 
Python 2.7 is planned to be the last of the 2.x releases, so we worked on
making it a good release for the long term.

"the last major version" and "for the long term", it sounds like a good idea
to include it into RHEL-6.


Improvements in this release include:
. An ordered dictionary type 
. New unittest features including test skipping and new assert methods 
. A much faster io module 
. Automatic numbering of fields in the str.format() method 
. Float repr improvements backported from 3.x 
. Tile support for Tkinter 
. A backport of the memoryview object from 3.x 
. Set literals 
. Set and dictionary comprehensions 
. Dictionary views 
. New syntax for nested with statements 
. The sysconfig module
