[maemo-developers] New release - Python2.5.2 - OS2007/2008

[From: Luciano Miguel Wolf]

I am pleased to announce Python2.5.2 for Maemo OS2007 / OS2008.

This new release is available from:
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org

What's it?
----------
Python for Maemo (PyMaemo for short) main objective is to make possible
to use Python programming language as the scripting and development
language for Maemo Platform, providing a better alternative for fast
prototyping and programming in Maemo environment besides the C
programming language.

Python is for serious programming and to have fun. Python has a nice
syntax, it's easy to learn and powerful enough for a vast range of
applications, this is why we choose Python for Maemo.

What's changed?
---------------
This release upgrades Python package from v2.5.1 to v2.5.2. It includes
mainly bugfixes, described at www.python.org

To do the update, "apt-get" should be used because Python remains not 
listed in Application Manager. PyMaemo webpage shows how to do it in 
"Instalation" section. Just use "python2.5" instead of "python2.5-runtime".

Bugfixes:
- Readline support included again (the last build has missed this feature)

Acknowledgements:
-----------------

Bug reports, as always, should go to Bugzilla; check out
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org for links to posting and querying bug
reports for PyMaemo.
