Currently, Windows MSI installers are only available for Python versions <= 2.7.16.

Could you please generate Windows MSI installers also for Python versions >= 3.x.x in order to be able to upgrade from 2.7.16 version to latest 3.x.x version?

Indeed, Python 2.7.x versions will be deprecated at the end of 2019, as shown by following log:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

Our installer scheme was modernized for Python 3.5, and a description of its use can be found here: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

The new scheme is significantly more flexible, though it is somewhat more complex to enable that flexibility.  If you have a case that can't be handled by the current installer, please open an issue detailing what you want to do and how the installer falls short.
