Peter, Just a note on Windows XP and Python 3.5 support (under 'Unsupported Operating Systems’):

</div>
<div class="">Not sure how this affects whether it actually would work on XP using MS Visual C++ 14.0 though; is it supported on that platform?</div>

<div class="">Hello all,<br class="">
<br class="">
Python 3.5.0 rc 2 is out now, so we ought to be testing<br class="">
Biopython with it:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350rc2/" class="">https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350rc2/</a><br class="">
<br class="">
However, this has deeper implications for compiling on<br class="">
Windows - in addition to the email forwarded below, I<br class="">
also saw this via Guido van Rossum's Twitter,<br class="">
<br class="">

<br class="">
The key point is for Python 3.5 on Windows builds now use<br class="">
Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0, and extension modules should<br class="">
use the same.<br class="">
<br class="">
He notes that for the short term, there are likely to be<br class="">
compatibility problems with mingw32 which we have also<br class="">
used previously.<br class="">
<br class="">
Unless someone else volunteers, at some point I will have<br class="">
to try installing MSVC 14.0 on my old Windows XP machine<br class="">
which has been used for all our recent Biopython Windows<br class="">
installers.<br class="">
