Why, oh why, do the python.org front page and other pages that offer a Windows download not say a word about it not running on Windows XP? Even if one is anal enough to go to the page about the 3.5 release. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/ a page with a lot of Windows-specific info, there is not a word about XP. Or perhaps the number of posts to this list are declining and having people download Python-3.5, have it fail, and then ask why here is part of a secret plan to increase list volume? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
