@kennethreitz would you rather just point this at 2.7.8 rather than the all-inclusive python downloads page? |
|
@sigmavirus24 I think it will be better if we point to python downloads page so users can download for themselves latest version of python 2.x or python 3.x. |

@kaustubhsant I understand you're new to the project but please understand that it is the goal of the project to be opinionated about some things. This is one of those things that we're very opinionated about (preferring python 2.7). It's the most practical suggestion we can make to new and experienced developers alike. Most companies are still using Python 2.x and the lucky ones are using 2.7. It's rare to find python 3 in use now though, so forcing a user to choose for themself (especially if they're new to Python) is a bad user experience. |

@sigmavirus24 sorry I didn't know the project was opinionated towards python 2.7. I too prefer using python 2.7. So do you want me to change it to point to 2.7.8 or kennethreitz will take care of it. |

@sigmavirus24 updated to point it to python 2.7.8. |
updated "latest version" link in win.rst
Updated latest version link in win.rst to point to "https://www.python.org/downloads/release" since previous link directly downloaded python 2.7.6 installer.
