Python 3.5.0a1

Release Date: Feb. 8, 2015

Python 3.5.0a1

Python 3.5 has reached end-of-life. Python 3.5.10, the final release of the 3.5 series, is available here.

Python 3.5.0a1 was released on February 8th, 2015.

Major new features of the 3.5 series, compared to 3.4

Python 3.5 is still in development, and 3.5.0a1 is the first alpha release. Many new features are still being planned and written. Among the new major new features and changes in the 3.4 release series so far are

  • PEP 461, adding support for "%-formatting" for bytes and bytearray objects
  • PEP 465, a new operator (@) for matrix multiplication
  • PEP 475, adding support for automatic retries of interrupted system calls

Download

Notes on this release:

  • The OS X installers are now distributed as signed installer package files compatible with the OS X Gatekeeper security feature.
  • There are now "web-based" installers for Windows platforms; the installer does not contain Python, but instead downloads just the needed su at installation time.
  • The Windows binaries were built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, which is not yet officially released. (It's currently offered in "Preview" mode, which is akin to a "beta".) It is our intention to ship Python 3.5 using VS2015, although right now VS2015's final release date is unclear.
  • The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture. (Also known as the "x64" architecture, and formerly known as both "EM64T" and "x86-64".) They will not work on Intel Itanium Processors (formerly "IA-64").
  • There is important information about IDLE, Tkinter, and Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X here.
