RHBA-2014:0609 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated python33 packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Software Collections 1.1 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language that
supports modules, classes, exceptions, high-level dynamic data types, and
dynamic typing. The python33 packages provide a recent stable release of Python
3.3 with a number of additional utilities and a database connector for
PostgreSQL.

The python33 packages have been upgraded to a later version that is required by
Red Hat Software Collections 1.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and
enhancements over the previous version. For example, python33 now allows for
easier packaging of a user's own dependent Software Collection. (BZ#994570,
BZ#1025642)

In addition, the following packages have been added to this Software Collection:

• python33-mod_wsgi - an Apache module that allows running Python web

applications on the Apache HTTP Server

• python33-scipy, python33-numpy - packages for scientific computing with Python
• python33-six - a package providing compatibility layer between Python 2 and

Python 3

• python33-python-pymongo - a database connector for MongoDB

(BZ#1033065, BZ#1033058, BZ#1009572)

Users of python33 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
