Topic

Updated python packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.
Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, high-level dynamic data types and
dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries,
as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The urllib.unquote method uses a dictionary containing pairs of hexadecimal

values. Prior to this update, this dictionary only contained those combinations
where the hexadecimal digits were both upper case or lower case, omitting those
pairs where one digit was upper case, the other lower case. As a result,
percent-escape sequences containing both upper and lower case hexadecimal
characters were not decoded in Python. This update modifies the dictionary
creation code so that it includes keys for all combinations of upper and lower
case hexadecimal digits. Now, all mixed-case hexadecimal digit pairs are
correctly decoded by the urllib.unquote method. (BZ#734005)

All Python users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
