Larry Hastings added the comment: Python 3.5 is not supported on Windows XP.
The Python core dev team's policy is, a major Python version (e.g. 3.4, 3.5) only supports the Windows versions that are currently supported by Microsoft at the time of the initial release (e.g. 3.4.0 final, 3.5.0 final): https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#microsoft-windows Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/lifecycle Python 3.5.0 final was released on September 13, 2015, seventeen months later. Therefore, Python 3.5 is the first Python release to drop support for Windows XP. ---------- nosy: +larry resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25120> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
