There was fairly serious regression introduced between 2.7.2 RC1 and 2.7.2 final – see issue #32400 for details. Upgrading to 2.7.2.1 is highly recommended.

On the plus side, this isn’t a dataloss bug, or anything like that, just a “break almost every program in existence” bug. Basically, the code for checking for comparison operators got broken. The motivating example is

if sys.version_info < (2, 4):
    # do something

I’m sure other cases would be broken as well, so I decided to err on the side of caution and update the release as soon as possible. My apologies to everyone who already downloaded 2.7.2 and was impacted by this.
