Hi Martin,

I was told the python -m test are for devs only to test "auxiliary functions" do you have a "basic test" i can use to validate Python36 has installed properly on Win10?

The fact that the tests run at all show that everything installed properly. The three failures that you see don't look serious, and are probably only failing due to differences in the development and installation environments on Windows. One of these days I hope to have a bulidbot that automatically installs and tests Python on every commit on Windows, but we're not there yet. Until then, investigating these failures and contributing patches to fix them could be a great way to get involved in CPython development!

Regards,

Zach
