RE: python27.dll out of date?

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

Fyodor, if you let me know your password I'll install the latest version on
your machines for you! In fact, if you're on LinkedIn or eHarmony... I
suspect Ron and a few others might have some new password lists and stats
for us at some point.

Thanks for the reports, Pogue and Liam.  It is unfortunate that Secunia is
flagging anyone who uses this DLL for a vulnerability in some Pythone "Web
Form" functionality which of course we don't use.
That being said, I think we should make upgrading a priority so as not to
scare users.  I'm adding a note to the Nmap TODO.  I probably just have to
install the latest version of Python on my build machine.

Cheers,
