IronPython 2.7.2 adds support for loading libraries from zip archives using the zipimport module. The pyc.py compiler has also been improved allowing it to generate standalone executables by embedding the IronPython assemblies. The sqlite3 module now makes use of the csharp-sqlite library in order to provide access to sqlite3 databases. Following the release of version 2.7.2 of its open source .NET implementation of the Python programming language, the developers discovered a "fairly serious regression" in operator method resolution that was introduced between 2.7.2 RC1 and 2.7.2. To address the problem, they have now released 2.7.2.1.
