The FreeBSD Python team welcomes Python 2.7.9 to the Ports tree!

Announcement: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-279/
Changelog: http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/v2.7.9/Misc/NEWS

Important changes for this release:

  • The entirety of Python 3.4's ssl module has been backported for Python 2.7.9. See PEP 466 for justification.
  • HTTPS certificate validation using the system's certificate store is now enabled by default. See PEP 476 for details.
  • SSLv3 has been disabled by default in httplib and its reverse dependencies due to the POODLE attack.
  • The ensurepip module module has been backported, which provides the pip package manager in every Python 2.7 installation. See PEP 477.
  • While updating, try to improve the NIS detection for FreeBSD
