Public bug reported:

Following @actionparsnip's suggestion, re-filing
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-
defaults/+question/260428 as a bug. Quoted from the original question:

"What are the official plans for Python 2.7.9 (and further 2.7 patch
releases) in supported releases? As per PEP 466
(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/), these will receive
handpicked security-related feature additions from the Python 3 series.
Will these new releases be included in released-and-still-supported
Ubuntu versions? (I realise Ubuntu releases don't generally get new
upstream software versions, but I feel this case might warrant an
exception.)

Note that I'm specifically asking about the *features* mentioned in PEP
466 (and any future additions), i.e. the new functions in the hmac and
hashlib modules and the backported ssl module, not any security issues
in existing functionality."
