Python 2.3.1 has been released:
Python 2.3.1 is a bugfix release of Python 2.3. No new features have been added. Instead, this release is the result of two months of bug hunting. A number of obscure bugs that could cause crashes have been fixed, as well as a number of memory leaks.
Excellent. I remember reading on python-dev that they were trying to push 2.3.1 out the door pretty quickly, and here it is. Thanks again to the Python developers and bug squashers for all the hard work.
