On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
happy to announce the release of Python 2.4.2 (release candidate 1).

Python 2.4.2 is a bug-fix release. See the release notes at the
website (also available as Misc/NEWS in the source distribution) for
details of the more than 60 bugs squished in this release.

Assuming no major problems crop up, a final release of Python 2.4.2
will follow in about a week's time.

various platforms, release notes, and known issues, please see:

Highlights of this new release include:

- Bug fixes. According to the release notes, more than 60 have been
fixed, including bugs that prevented Python from working properly
on 64 bit HP/UX and AIX systems.
