Quoted from the original question: "What are the official plans for Python 2.7.9 (and further 2.7 patch releases) in supported releases? As per PEP 466 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/), these will receive handpicked security-related feature additions from the Python 3 series. Will these new releases be included in released-and-still- supported Ubuntu versions? (I realise Ubuntu releases don't generally get new upstream software versions, but I feel this case might warrant an exception.) Note that I'm specifically asking about the *features* mentioned in PEP 466 (and any future additions), i.e. the new functions in the hmac and hashlib modules and the backported ssl module, not any security issues in existing functionality."
