...Windows builds with reasonably short version lag. We will discuss further, and I'll try to rope in some support from Microsoft." 18 Bylaw Change Survey S. Holden reported that he considers the current PSF bylaws deficient, and asked if anyone had specific changes to propose. T. Peters would like to make it possible to do more electronically (by email, IRC, etc.): "I think that's actually allowed now, but it takes creative reading to support that view ;-)". D. G...

That bug has been fixed, but note that SSL support on Windows is still not enabled in this release. What's New in Python 2.1.2 (final)? Changes in metadata: Fixed the version numbers in...

...Windows Boosted the stack reservation for python.exe and pythonw.exe from the default 1MB to 2MB. Stack frames under VC 7.1 for 2.4 are enough bigger than under VC 6.0 for 2.3.4 that deeply recursive progams within the default sys.getrecursionlimit() default value of 1000 were able to suffer undetected C stack overflows.
