Release Date: 2014-12-10

Python 2.7.9 is a bugfix version for the Python 2.7 release series. Python
2.7.9 includes several significant changes unprecedented in a "bugfix" 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.
