2.6.6 was the last bug fix release for Python 2.6. 2.6.7 (planned for June 3, 2011) and beyond will be security-fix only releases. Yes, there are a *ton* of fixes in 2.6.6. See http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2d760cb20e1e/Misc/NEWS
I'll review these to find any I think might affect Ubuntu, and check them against any distro patches we might have applied.
