Fedora 29: python2 Security Update

September 26, 2018

Security fix for CVE-2018-1000802

Summary

Python 2 is an old version of the language that is incompatible with the 3.x

line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially

how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed

considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed in the

3.x line.

Note that documentation for Python 2 is provided in the python2-docs

package.

This package provides the "python2" executable; most of the actual

implementation is within the "python2-libs" package.
