This is an old release. The release schedule is outlined in pep-373. Looks like python 2.7.13 is due next month.

Why has this been submitted? It's not a new release (Release Date: 2016-06-25) and it's just a link to the download page.

End of life is 2020, and this release is from June, so it's a bit surprising it shows up on HN now.

Heh, didn't notice until you and orf mentioned it. Good thing there's an unvote button.

Is there an end of life planned where they stop all updates?

Yes, but it will be forked and maintained by other people anyways.

Python 2 is forever, best get used to it.

I guess they wouldn't be allowed to call it "Python"?

Seems weird to downvote. Python is a trademark of the Python foundation and if you de-eol something they want to eol I don't think they'd let you use the name.
