RELEASED Python 2.6.5

On behalf of the Python community, I'm happy to announce the availability of
Python 2.6.5 final.  This is the latest production-ready version in the Python
2.6 series.

Python 2.6.5 fixes dozens of issues in the core, built-in modules, libraries,
and documentation since Python 2.6.4 was released back in October 2009.  We
highly recommend that you upgrade to Python 2.6.5.

Please see the NEWS file for all the gory details.
