The weeky 'Summariy of Python tracker Issues' ('tracker' should be

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Names sometimes have not-ascii chars, and they do not get properly displayed
for me with Thunderbird on Windows.  For instance,
   Raúl Núñez de Arenas (Raúl Núñez de Arenas)
is transmitted as
   Ra=C3=BAl N=C3=BA=C3=B1ez de= Arenas
and displayed as
   Raúl Núñez de Arenas



This already looks like UTF-8 -- you should be able to verify this by
manually selecting UTF-8 as encoding from the menu.


I found the per-message setting and selecting utf-8 fixed it.


If the Content-Type still uses us-ascii though, it should be fixed to
specify UTF-8 instead.


Email from the tracker specifies utf-8. Thunderbird must assume latin-8 
for non-ascii in a message specified as ascii.

Re: [Python-Dev] [Webmaster] Python installation problem

2016-03-12 Thread Steve Holden 
Hi Sumit,

We get a lot of these inquiries. Yes, you can generally assume that Python
will be available for the current versions of Linux, Windows and MacOS
because the developers generally use those platforms for development work.
It is certainly fine on Windows 10, so you should have no problems. You
might find
https://www.londonappdeveloper.com/setting-up-your-windows-10-system-for-python-development-pydev-eclipse-python/
helpful in setting up your environment.

I have forwarded this query to the developers list, as I noticed that the
Windows releases page (https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) tells the
reader a lot about what's available for Windows but doesn't mention which
versions of Windows are supported. I won't guarantee the developers will
have time to reply, but at least they know that this would be useful
information.

Thanks for your interest in Python. Clicking the links for the latest
downloads on the home page of python.org is the traditional way to get
started. Good luck!

regards
 Steve
