Correction:  Python 2.6's last *security* fix release was a few days ago.  
Security fix releases have only security fixes in them and a very tiny number 
at that.  The final bug fix release was 2.6.6 in 2010.  The final bug fix 
release of Python 3.1 was 3.1.4 in 2011.  Python 3.2.5 was released in 2013 
and is expected to be the final bug fix release for 3.2.
