On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community,
I'm happy to announce the release of Python 2.5.1 (release
candidate 1).
This is the first bugfix release of Python 2.5. Python 2.5 is now
in bugfix-only mode; no new features are being added. According to
the release notes, over 150 bugs and patches have been addressed
since Python 2.5, including a fair number in the new AST compiler
(an internal implementation detail of the Python interpreter).
For more information on Python 2.5.1, including download links for
various platforms, release notes, and known issues, please see:
http://www.python.org/2.5.1/
Highlights of this new release include:
Bug fixes. According to the release notes, at least 150 have
been fixed.
Highlights of the previous major Python release (2.5) are available
from the Python 2.5 page, at

Enjoy this release,
Anthony
