Python 2.5 Windows Binaries?

Question

I need to test an issue that occurs on Windows with Python 2.5, but the releases page doesn't link to a binary for 2.5.

Is there anywhere I could find a copy?

Answer 1

It's on their FTP server still, it's just the link that's gone:

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5/

You'll want one of the MSI files, depending on your Windows version (32-bits or 64-bits).

Answer 2

ActiveState keeps old binaries for ActivePython available on its site. The oldest version there is 2.5.5.7.

Answer 3

The release page has it.

http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/

Answer 4

There is not much of a difference between 2.5.4 and 2.5.5 and there is an msi installer in 2.5.4 http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/

Answer 5

Be careful with ActiveState distributions -- read the license carefully, they are slapping on additional terms that may affect your intended use. I'm still looking for a windows binary of the 2.5.5 version without the additional licensing restrictions.
