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?

A:
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).

Nonsense; all the links are there.

Not to the Windows binaries, though.

@Thomas - this does *not* have Windows installer for the latest security release 2.5.5

Indeed it doesn't. How strange.

Really? Obviously I see the source links… But I can't find a link to binaries anywhere :(

@David: Huh? Text on that page says `Download the release` `Windows` `For x86 processors: python-2.5.4.msi` which links to `http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.4/python-2.5.4.msi`

… well, I'm an idiot. The only reason I might possibly have been able to miss that is that the [2.5.5 download page](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/) doesn't have links… But… Yea, I really have no idea. Thanks.

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