Maybe this information should be written down somewhere more official?
 I can't find it in any of these pages:

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-351/
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

It is found on the following page, to which googling "python 3.5
windows XP" does not point:

https://docs.python.org/3.5/whatsnew/3.5.html#unsupported-operating-systems

Instead, the google query above returns various threads on
stackoverflow and elsewhere where users wonder about that very
question.


A bientôt,

Armin.

Having "minimum supported version" for Windows and Mac OS X in the
"using" guide would likely make sense. For Linux, supported versions
are handled by redistributors, so the most we could do is offer
guidance to folks on checking their version and ensuring they're
looking at the right documentation.

Cheers,
Nick.

I already asked for that, on the bug tracker but maybe I picked the wrong
issue tracker for that request.

So now I have made one here, too.

That's too bad, since that's the official place such info appears.

IMO the second is the right one...although the release managers sometimes
adjust the web site, I think this is a web site issue and not a release
management issue.  I would think that we should have "supported versions"
in the 'product description' for both Windows and OSX, but IMO the
current way the releases are organized on the web site does not make
that easy to achieve in a way that will be useful to end users.

That said, I'm not sure whether or not there is a way we could add
"supported versions" to the main docs that would make sense and be
useful...your bugs.python.org issue would be useful for discussing that.

No, his problem is his windows XP.

Python 3.5 is not supported on windows XP.  Upgrade your OS or
stick with 3.4

Did you get the x86-64 version or x86? If you had gotten the former, it would 
lead to that error.

This isn't really the place to ask questions such as this.  However 
Python 3.5 is *NOT* supported on XP.  Work has been done for 3.5.1 to 
improve the user experience in this scenario.
