Hi

I was trying to use your windows version of python 3.5.1 x64.

It has a conflict with a notepad++ plugin NppFTP giving api-ms-win-crt-runtime-
I1-1-0.dll error on start up.

This seems pretty well documented on the web. The work around is to delete the 
plugin and reinstall since it borks the install.

Since about every other admin I've ever known uses notepad++, you might want to
 fix this.

Also your installer fails to set the permissions correctly:

H:\>py -m pip install requests

me, mode) PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\P
ython35\\Lib\\site-packages\\requests'

Once I gave myself control it started working.

This is pretty shoddy for released software.

And for future reference, anyone who has Python in Program Files has 
*explicitly* chosen to put it there. We always default to a location where the 
current user can install packages as normal.

R. David Murray added the comment:

For the record Zach's conclusion is that the conflict is a NppFTP issue, since 
api-ms-win-crt-runtime is part of the CRT and so any problem would not be 
unique to Python (or solvable by python).  The permissions issue is more 
obvious: that's how it is designed to work, and this is a documented change 
between python3.4 and python3.5, bringing it more in-line with how other 
Windows software works permissions-wise.
