I am attempting to install Python 3 from within Windows XP Professional; however I receive the following screen (there is no install button):
In my opinion this is obviously an unreported error, or a rendering problem. How is this problem alleviated? If this problem can be overcome, is it a sign of additional related issues?

After that you see the note at the end of the download sections for each version Note that Python 3.5.0 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier.
I'm running Windows XP SP 3 32 bits. I have also installed Python 2.7, that's a problem? Thanks in advance. I think, the best is to uninstall python 2.7 before and after try again. But I've been developing with Python 2.7 three years. All my projects, packages and modules goes with Python 2.7. The idea was to keep both installed.
For most Unix systems, you must download and compile the source code. The same source code archive can also be used to build the Windows and Mac versions, and is the starting point for ports to all other platforms. Download the latest Python 3 and Python 2 source.

While CPython 3.5 doesn't work on XP, there is PyPy, an alternative Python implementation that does work.
However, current version PyPy3.5 v6.0 doesn't yet support asyncio module, probably the most interesting part of 3.5 update.
2020 Update: PyPy supports asyncio since v7.1.1, but I'm not sure whether it still supports XP. Leave a comment if you try it.

Sadly, any version of Python past version 3.4.3 is no longer compatible with Windows XP. They stopped supporting it all together - see 3.5 install fails poorly on Windows XP.

May be a bug in the installer? Try Python 3.4.3 - https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.3/python-3.4.3.msi
Or click on white space in the 3.5.0rc3 installer.

from python.readthedocs.io :
As specified in PEP 11, a Python release only supports a Windows platform while Microsoft considers the platform under extended support. This means that Python 3.7 supports Windows Vista and newer. If you require Windows XP support then please install Python 3.4.
the last windows XP Python build is 3.4.4 : https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-344/ 3.4.7 (2017-08-09) is available as code source
