Python 2.7.9 is a bugfix version for the Python 2.7 release series. Python
2.7.9 includes several significant changes unprecedented in a "bugfix"
release
- The entirety of Python 3.4's ssl module has been backported for Python
2.7.9. See PEP 466 for justification.
- HTTPS certificate validation using the system's certificate store is
now enabled by default. See PEP 476 for details.
- SSLv3 has been disabled by default due to the POODLE attack.
- The ensurepip module module has been backported, which provides the
pip package manager in every Python 2.7 installation. See PEP 477.
