Windows new 3.5 installer: Command line uninstall
by Paul Moore 02 Jun '15

I'm trying to script a command line uninstall of Python 3.5. The new installer has a nice well-documented command line interface, but there's nothing much about how to uninstall. Looking at the installed products, I see >get-wmiobject Win32_Product -filter 'name like "Python 3.5.0b2%"' | select Name Name ---- Python 3.5.0b2 pip Bootstrap (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Development Libraries (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 C Runtime (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Tcl/Tk Support (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Standard Library (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Executables (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Core Interpreter (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Launcher (32-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Documentation (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Utility Scripts (64-bit) Python 3.5.0b2 Test Suite (64-bit) Normally I'd be able to call the Uninstall method on the installed product, but here, I'm not sure which of the above I'd call "Uninstall" on (there's only one "Programs and Features" entry for 3.5, and I can't tell which of these is equivalent to it - or if I need to uninstall each in turn, I don't know what order they need to be done in). Specifically (get-wmiobject -query 'select * from Win32_Product where name = "Python 2.7.8 (64-bit)"').Uninstall() is an automated, command line silent uninstall of Python 2.7.8. What (if anything) would be the equivalent for 3.5.0b2? Paul

[RELEASED] Python 3.5.0b2 is now available
by Larry Hastings 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

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 http://bugs.python.org/issue24285 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. 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.) This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Three important notes for Windows users about Python 3.5.0b2: * 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. * 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. You can find Python 3.5.0b2 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350b2/ Happy hacking, //arry/

Can someone configure the buildbots to build the 3.5 branch?
by Larry Hastings 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

The buildbots currently live in a state of denial about the 3.5 branch. Could someone whisper tenderly in their collective shell-like ears so that they start building 3.5, in addition to 3.4 and trunk? Thank you, //arry/
