sending them to python-list is not a good idea.
people get bored at the same old bugs and by now
bored python-listers will reply something sarcastic
at people with the same old bugs.

Especialy if they post there not saying what windows version
they have.

There is only so much --'be kinder, it may be the 35th time for us,
it is still that person's first bug report with the same old same old'
I can do.

The chief reason I am subscribed to python-list is so that newbies
are not greeted with such sarcasm alone.

A better experience from the download page should not wait for
Larry's other concerns.  If the new one is ready to go, and tells
XP users to get a new OS and universal-crt missers to go get one here


Put that on python.org as soon as possible.
even if you need to bump the python 3.5 numbering.
you get 3.5.1 for this, and this alone and everybody else gets to
wait for 3.5.2 and when Larry feels this is a good idea.
