An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for python fixes the following issues:

  * CVE-2025-6075: quadratic complexity in `os.path.expandvars()` can lead to
    performance degradation when values passed to it are user-controlled
    (bsc#1252974).
  * CVE-2025-8291: lack of validity checks on the ZIP64 End of Central Directory
    (EOCD) record allows for the creation of ZIP archives that are processed
    inconsistently by the `zipfile` module (bsc#1251305).
