It's older than that. Release date was August 1, 2001. More than 14 years ago. My how the time flies. Though more recent versions of Windows have added features (which Python now takes advantage of), it doesn't seem to me that we've gained much in all that time in overall usability terms, from an end-user persepective. If it weren't for security issues, I'm sure Windows XP would work just fine indefinitely for some tasks. But they will have to stick with unmaintained software and any problems that entails. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
