[Python-Dev] Python 3.5.1 plans

[Steve Dower]

The installer and the contained contents are currently tied together, making it fairly difficult to mix and match versions.

When 3.5.1 happens is up to Larry, but I'm feeling like the initial rush of bug reports has died down and we should be considering the remaining open ones in the context of blocking that release. (The XP notification, as well as the more confusing Vista and Win7 w/o service packs notifications, have been added already. Python-list will probably keep asking though, just in case it can get something for free...)

Cheers,
Steve

True, it doesn't, but it needs that installer to have as much checking
as a new point release will get. My understanding was that it was
going to be done as part of 3.5.1.
