[issue40740] Missing api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1.0.dll for python-3.9.0b1-amd64.exe Under Win7

Well, we don't support doing that - so I'm not sure what you want beyond the 
statement "it's not supported". If it works for you, then by all means use it, 
but you'll be on your own for any issues you encounter unless you can reproduce 
them in a "normal" supported installation.

And I assume it goes without saying, don't do this in a production environment 
:-)

[issue40740] Missing api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1.0.dll for python-3.9.0b1-amd64.exe Under Win7

[Andrew Ushakov]

Andrew Ushakov  added the comment:

Is the missed api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1.0.dll library the only reason of the 
Python 3.9 and 3.10 incompatibility with Windows 7? I am asking because I just 
found replacement of this dll, compatible with Windows 7: 
https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK, which allows to use 
Blender (with embedded Python 3.9) in Windows 7 environment.

Then I copied installation of Python 3.10 64-bit from Windows 10 to Windows 7, 
mentioned above DLL to the root sub-directory of Python 3.10 and was able to 
run Python. 

So my question is: is it possible to modify just a  Windows installer to allow 
installation to Windows 7? With warning, additional question, etc.?

Thank you in advance.

[Paul Moore]

Paul Moore  added the comment:

https://docs.python.org/3.9/using/windows.html should probably be updated:

"""
As specified in PEP 11, a Python release only supports a Windows platform while 
Microsoft considers the platform under extended support. This means that Python 
3.9 supports Windows Vista and newer. If you require Windows XP support then 
please install Python 3.4.
"""

Technically, the link to PEP 11 is sufficient, but "Python 3.9 supports Windows 
Vista and newer" is inaccurate.

If someone wanted to submit a PR, I'm sure it would be welcome.

At beta 5 the download page [0] says nothing about dropping win7 support.

The  installer, at least the one I tried ( python-3.9.0b5-amd64.exe ) will 
install on win7, and without warnings.

It would be much better if it refused to install.

Łukasz can add a note to the release page, I believe.

Mark Hammond  added the comment:

Can we get this mentioned somewhere? Eg, 
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390b3/ doesn't mention anything 
about minimum versions. https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ also has 
prominent notices like "Note that Python 3.8.3rc1 cannot be used on Windows XP 
or earlier." but nothing for 3.9

(This threw me for some time - I still have a win7 VM I used for testing and 
figured there was something broken in the VM before finding this)

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Sorry, Windows 7 is no longer supported in Python 3.9. You'll need to update, 
ideally to Windows 10, but if you want to stay on Windows 8.1 then I believe 
that one's supported until Python 3.10.
