Python deliberately does not provide a way to install to the micro level as an important "contract" in the Python maintenance and release process is to maintain ABI compatibility among maintenance (i.j.k) releases in the same major release series (i.j). We sometimes fail in that but we do try really hard to make it painless to move from i.j.k to i.j.x. That's also why we only supply fixes for the most recent micro release. -- Ned Deily n...@acm.org -- [] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
