Actually, looking back at the "Download" dropdown for Windows, I see Python 3.6.0 Python 2.7.13 That's not really that bad (I recalled it being worse) - Python 3 is on the left, which I'd interpret as "first", but otherwise the choices are pretty equal. The problem is that because it's 32-bit, I never really look at these options, I always go straight to "Other downloads", which is in a *really* weird order - 3.5.3, then 3.5.3rc1, then 3.6.0, then 2.7.13, ... "Full list of downloads" isn't much better - 3.4.6, 3.5.3, 3.6.0, 2.7.13, 3.4.5, ... +1 on tidying up, and consistently showing an order 3.6.0, 2.7.13, "other older versions". No matter where people end up, they should always see 3.6 as the first option, with 2.7 clearly available as "the other one". +0 on de-emphasising 2.7 still further. I'm in favour, and I think that people who need 2.7 in practice probably need it for compatibility with other parts of their system and so should likely be getting it from their vendor/distro rather than python.org. +1 on making the main download for Windows 64-bit.
