declaimed the following:
i am about to download python 3.5.0 but there are three options
1.windows x86 web-based installer
2.windows x86 executable installer
3.windows x86 embeddable zip file
i have tried no.1 but while installing there was an error. so which do i pick?
A) If you are running Windows XP, NONE OF THE ABOVE. 3.5 does not run
on WinXP
B) What site is offering those? I just went to python.org, and the 3.5
download button (just the one -- no options for type of file) only provides
a downloadable EXE installer (note: I normally use the ActiveState
installers rather than python.org)
Compare https://www.python.org/downloads/ which I believe is being
referred to above, to https://www.python.org/ and hover your mouse over
"downloads" and then "Python 3.5.0", this offers a web install exe, to
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ which offers everything
including the kitchen sink.
