Probably the result of graphic arts people who think that appearance
is everything and don't really understand the web.

Yup. It's annoying.  That trick of hiding links has become quite
fashionable -- I don't know why.  Somebody must think it's cute or
clever.  Mostly, it's just annoying. :)

And it is really is not there *on that page*.


  From a brief search it appears to be Python 2.7 and Python 3.5.


Just click on the link on the europython blog page.

A writer who was trying to be informative rather than write a come-on-in 
like a used-car salesman would have given such essential information 
right up front.  A 2.7 compiler has 0 interest for me, so I scanned the 
page for numbers.

I'm sure they will be happy to answer all those questions at
their booth :-)

More details are available here, if you can't attend EuroPython:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/distribution-for-python

(look for e.g. "key specifications")

I think that page is basically just a teaser to say "come to our
booth".


Google found me a (sort of) download page:

https://software.seek.intel.com/python-distribution

I say "sort of" because you have to register and agree to let them
spam you before they'll give you anything.

It does say:

   Operating systems: Windows* 7 or later, macOS, and Linux
   Python* versions: 2.7.X, 3.5.X, 3.6

It doesn't say whether source is included.

Also, if 3.6 rather than 2.7, do they plan to keep up to date?

I think that page is basically just a teaser to say "come to our
booth". They want people to ask those questions in person. Sucks for
those of us who aren't within a thousand miles of EuroPython.
