New submission from Steve Dower: Windows Vista SP2 is out of support by the time that Python 3.7 releases (see PEP 0537 and [1]), so we should do the following tasks:
* update the definition of Py_WINVER in PC/pyconfig.h to 0x0601 _WIN32_WINNT_WIN7 * remove any dynamic API imports that are not required on Win7 (I don't think there are many, if any) * remove pre-Win7 supportedOS elements from PC/python.manifest * block Windows Vista in the installer We may also be able to take advantage of new flags, particularly related to security (I think LoadLibrary[Ex] got new flags). If there's anything else we need to do, post it here so we don't forget.
