On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release
team, I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0a3.
Python 3.5.0a3 is the third alpha release of Python 3.5, which will be
the next major release of Python. Python 3.5 is still under heavy
development, and is far from complete.
This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production
settings.
Two important notes for Windows users about Python 3.5.0a3:
* If you have previously installed Python 3.5.0a1, you may need to
manually uninstall it before installing Python 3.5.0a3 (issue23612).
* If installing Python 3.5.0a3 as a non-privileged user, you may need
to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your
C runtime libraries.
You can find Python 3.5.0a3 here:

Paul has been participating on python-dev for quite a while, he is a
committer on pip, and (co-)author on 5 PEPs. At this point I think it would
be prudent for Paul to have commit privileges if for any other reason than
to help manage the code related to his PEPs. But on top of that I bet Steve
wouldn't mind more help managing Windows-specific stuff.
I always intended all my releases to be on Sundays--that all the release
engineering work is done on weekends, which is generally easier for
everybody. But I goofed up the 3.5 release schedule and had proposed
3.5.0a3 to be released Saturday March 28th. With the assent of the team
I bumped it forward a day to Sunday March 29th. I apologize for my goof.
Cheers,

For at least 24 hours now my attempts to connect to hg.python.org have been futile.
I finally stuck to it this time, and about three minutes later finally got the prompt, but after entering my password got a
remote: Connection closed by 104.130.43.97
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
Any ideas?

Hey all,
Since I've gotten a couple of requests now for MSDN renewals, I may as
well try to do them in a big batch. If you have an MSDN subscription
that is expired or soon expiring, I can get you a renewal if you send
me the email address you use to login and your Subscriber ID. This is
found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage/
If you don't have a subscription but would like one - it gives you
access to Windows ISOs, Visual Studio, and other Microsoft software -
please send me your preferred email address, mailing address, and
telephone number, and I'll get you setup.
Brian Curtin
