There appears to be a small oops with the Windows installers for 3.5.2--uploaded to the wrong directory or something. They'll be available soon, honest! That oops is now fixed, but I wanted to mention one other thing. Microsoft Security Essentials, now a very common antivirus/antimalware scanner on Windows, is incorrectly detecting Lib/distutils/command/wininst-14.0.exe as malware (originally reported at http://bugs.python.org/issue27383). My assumption is that someone distributed malware using a bdist_exe package, and our stub executable got picked up in the signature. I rebuilt the executable on my own machine from early source code and it still triggered the scan, so there does not appear to have been any change to the behaviour of the executable. I've already submitted a false positive report, so I expect an update to correct it at some point in the future, but please do not be alarmed to see this warning when installing Python 3.5.2, or when scanning any earlier version of 3.5. Feel free to contact me off-list or steve.dower at microsoft.com if you have concerns.

Larry is welcome to add one, but I hope it won't be an issue for long. It's not actually directly related to 3.5.2 as the file in question hasn't changed (not even rebuilt). I hoped by informing the lists we'll be able to address concerns as they come up, but I'd rather not have a semi-permanent instruction to ignore a virus scanner :) Cheers, Steve Top-posted from my Windows Phone -Original Message- From: "R.

Should there be a note about this on the download page(s)? I've added a note. * Windows users: Some virus scanners (most notably "Microsoft Security Essentials") are flagging "Lib/distutils/command/wininst-14.0.exe" as malware. This is a "false positive": the file does not contain any malware. We build it ourselves, from source, on a known-clean system. We've asked that this false positive report be removed, and expect action soon. In the meantime, please don't be alarmed to see this warning when installing Python 3.5.2, or when scanning any earlier version of 3.5. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/ //arry/ p.s. the "oops" was about missing files, not about the false positive for malware. ___ python-committers mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
