The Python installation on Windows XP has a bizarre behavior. No option is displayed in the first window of the installer (See attached screen capture). but when I click blindly in the empty space, the installer continue to the next window. |

Python 3.5 is not supported on Windows XP. The Python core dev team's policy is, a major Python version (e.g. 3.4, 3.5) only supports the Windows versions that are currently supported by Microsoft at the time of the initial release (e.g. 3.4.0 final, 3.5.0 final): https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#microsoft-windows Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/lifecycle Python 3.5.0 final was released on September 13, 2015, seventeen months later. Therefore, Python 3.5 is the first Python release to drop support for Windows XP. |

Maybe the download page should direct XP users to install 3.4.x. |

That's an interesting thought, eryksun. I'll pass it along to the python.org web developers. Djoudi, it is mentioned on the Python web site, in the What's New In Python 3.5 document: https://docs.python.org/3.5/whatsnew/3.5.html#unsupported-operating-systems |
