This was recently discussed in the "Moving Python 3.5 on Windows to a new compiler" thread, where Martin declared XP support to be ended [1]. I believe Tim Golden is the only resident Windows dev from whom I haven't seen at least implicit agreement that XP doesn't need further support, so I'd say our support for XP is well and truly dead :) In any case, surely anyone stuck with XP can be happy with Python 3.4. I'm perfectly fine with 3.2 on Win2k! -- Zach [1] https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2014-June/134903.html _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
