Maybe this information should be written down somewhere more official?
 I can't find it in any of these pages:

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-351/
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

It is found on the following page, to which googling "python 3.5
windows XP" does not point:

https://docs.python.org/3.5/whatsnew/3.5.html#unsupported-operating-systems

Instead, the google query above returns various threads on
stackoverflow and elsewhere where users wonder about that very
question.


A bientôt,

Armin.
