This page tracks the versions of Python and Numpy available in the default repositories of various long term support distros.

RHEL 6 (End of "production" support Q2 2016):

  • Python 2.6.6
  • Numpy 1.4.1

RHEL 7 (in RC, end of "production" support est. Q1 2020):

  • Python 2.7.5
  • Numpy 1.7.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "precise" (Ending Q3 2017):

  • Python 2.7.3, 3.2.3
  • Numpy 1.6.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "trusty" (Ending Q3 2019):

  • Python 2.7.5, 3.4.0
  • Numpy 1.8.1

Debian 7 "wheezy" (current stable)

  • Python 2.7.3, 3.2.3
  • Numpy 1.6.2

Question: Is it worth tracking OS X versions? I think it's used in production less often, and these sorts of "long term support" issues matter less. Indeed, my understanding is that Apple doesn't even ever make promises of any long term support.
