I thought the last release was already past; wasn't the python 2 series supposed to have ended on January 1st? Or did I misunderstand that?
> As of January 1st, 2020 no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to Python 2, and Python 2 is no longer supported. We have not yet released the few changes made between when we released Python 2.7.17 (on October 19th, 2019) and January 1st. As a service to the community, we will bundle those fixes (and only those fixes) and release a 2.7.18. We plan on doing that in April 2020

[2] When is the last release of Python 2.7 coming out?: http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/...

This is the release of the changes up to that date, since they don't release instantly.
