    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl,
    Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and
    dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various
    windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).
    Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension
    language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard
    Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM.
    Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-4940
    The list_directory function in Lib/SimpleHTTPServer.py in SimpleHTTPServer in Python before 2.5.6c1, 2.6.x
    before 2.6.7 rc2, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2 does not place a charset parameter in the Content-Type HTTP
    header, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against
    Internet Explorer 7 via UTF-7 encoding.
    CVE-2011-4944
    CVE-2012-0845
    CVE-2012-1150
    No description available at the time of writing, please use the CVE links below.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
