I would think that we should have "supported versions" in the 'product description' for both Windows and OSX, but IMO the current way the releases are organized on the web site does not make that easy to achieve in a way that will be useful to end users. That said, I'm not sure whether or not there is a way we could add "supported versions" to the main docs that would make sense and be useful...your bugs.python.org issue would be useful for discussing that. --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
