As of Python 3.5, Windows XP is no longer a supported platform.
It is unsupported by Microsoft, and hence by CPython.
Since there has also been a change of compiler for 3.5,
to the new 2015 Microsoft compiler, which I am very sure does not
support XP, as per above.
People running XP should install the latest 3.4.
it wouldn't surprise
me if there are odd problems where something just doesn't work. Can
you reproduce the problem on Win 7 or newer? If it's just an XP
problem, I suspect the devs won't be very much interested in fixing it
(although if _you_ fix it, they may be willing to incorporate the
change, assuming it doesn't break anything else).
I think not.
