Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2020-e33acdea18
2020-10-30 01:14:56.947527
——————————————————————————–

Name : python2
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 2.7.18
Release : 6.fc31
URL : https://www.python.org/
Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
Description :
Python 2 is an old version of the language that is incompatible with the 3.x
line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially
how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed
considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed in the
3.x line.

Note that documentation for Python 2 is provided in the python2-docs
package.

This package provides the “python2” executable; most of the actual
implementation is within the “python2-libs” package.
