Interesting. I didn't realise ActiveState did that. The python.org installers don't ship with python3.exe or python3.5.exe. And yes, I know that the Windows installers don't put Python on PATH by default. I'm assuming the user has added Python to his PATH (people using command line languages on Windows usually know how to do that). And I also know that a better option on Windows is to use the "py" launcher anyway. I did say it was a weak argument :-) Paul -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
