I didn't even notice that 3.4 (and earlier?) were doing that, so I changed/fixed it by accident :)

Python 3.5 installs python3.dll alongside python35.dll, so it'll go into the user's Python directory by default or into the system directory for an all-users installation. The embeddable distro includes python3.dll alongside the other DLLs as well.
