Notes regarding support for Python 3.15
- Visual Studio 2026 and its associated MSVC++ runtime redistributable will drop support for Windows 7/8/8.1. Continue using Visual Studio 2022. Or maybe
vcruntime140.dll will still work just fine despite lack of official support.
- Support for Visual Studio 2026 was introduced (python/cpython@c06f4f4).
- Official 64-bit binaries will use the tail-calling interpreter (python/cpython@2e64e36).
python-3.15.0rc1-amd64-full.exe is just above GitHub's 100MB file size limit. Split into multiple files with 7-Zip and require that the user use 7-Zip or a similar tool to extract it. Or switch to GitHub Releases, which has a higher file size limit.
