PEP 478 [1] doesn't currently have any info on a planned 3.5.1 release (and actually, it has 3.5.0 Final listed as a future release). About when is it likely to happen? The one thing I'm hanging out for is an installer patch on Windows that detects XP and immediately aborts with a convenient error; if the number of emails to python-list is indicative, there are a lot of people out there getting confused. That doesn't need a new version of Python, just a new installer.

True, it doesn't, but it needs that installer to have as much checking as a new point release will get. My understanding was that it was going to be done as part of 3.5.1.
