You underestimate the reach of XP. For older or underpowered hardware
outside the developed world it is still the de facto choice. And it
definitely is the best version of Windows ever. None of the Win98 crap and
none of the Vista junk.

Hi,
how do you feel about dropping Windows XP support for Python 3.4? It
would enable us to use some features that are only available on Windows
Vista and newer, for example http://bugs.python.org/issue6926 and
http://bugs.python.org/issue1763 .
PEP 11 says:
A new feature release X.Y.0 will
be taken out
for 3.4.1. Since 3.4.1 is almost certainly going to be after the end of
extended support, better to drop it for .0

Ah, yeah, that makes sense -- thanks for the further explanation. True
about older versions of Python not going away.
What about just have these attributes/functions on OSes that support it,
for example os.kill on Python 2.6 vs 2.7?
I'm afraid it's not that simple. The issue (as I
