On behalf of the Python development community and the Python
3.5 release team, I'm relieved to announce the availability
of Python 3.5.0b2. Python 3.5.0b1 had a major regression
(see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugs.python.org/issue24285">http://bugs.python.org/issue24285</a> for more information)
and as such was not suitable for testing Python 3.5.
Therefore we've made this extra beta release, only a week
later. Anyone trying Python 3.5.0b1 should switch
immediately to testing with Python 3.5.0b2.<br>
<br>
Python 3.5 has now entered "feature freeze". By default new
features may no longer be added to Python 3.5. (However,
there are a handful of features that weren't quite ready for
Python 3.5.0 beta 2; these were granted exceptions to the
freeze, and are scheduled to be added before beta 3.)<br>
<br>
This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended
for production settings.<br>
<br>
Three important notes for Windows users about Python
3.5.0b2:<br>
<ul>
<li>If installing Python 3.5.0b2 as a non-privileged user,
you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to
install an update to your C runtime libraries.</li>
<li>There is now a third type of Windows build for Python
3.5. In addition to the conventional installer and the
web-based installer, Python 3.5 now has an embeddable
release designed to be deployed as part of a larger
application's installer for apps using or extending
Python. During the 3.5 alpha releases, this was an
executable installer; as of 3.5.0 beta 1 the embeddable
build of Python is now shipped in a zip file.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
