Python & Windows XP

[sparkz_alot]

Probably a question better asked of the Python Software Foundation. My basic understanding is that Python will not support Windows systems that cannot support or does not have the proper version of programs that Python needs. Since Windows XP is dead, it will never be able to meet the requirements of Python 3.5 and higher. Another example would be Windows 7 (another dead horse), which requires Service Pack 1 in order to run 3.6. Note, I've not investigated Windows 7, I'm using anecdotal evidence of members problems.

For a more in depth answer or clarification, as I said, you should probably go straight to the source.
