Upgrade to Python 2.7.8

We somehow missed the release of Python 2.7.7 and 2.7.8. While we'd normally prefer to avoid a Python upgrade this close to a release, there are significant security fixes. We don't know whether these affect us, but it's best to be safe.

Does this have any bearing on this odd error on the punctuation dialogue?
Turn off watchdog and it crashes nvda.

No, because you reported this on the list before the Python upgrade. (The Python upgrade only occurred about 9 hours ago.)
