Hello @zrhoffman. Thank you for your report. According to the message we're not planning to add support for 3.5.x and 3.6.x python versions for Ubuntu 22.04. I've tried to install python versions 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 for Windows and they work as expected. For other Windows versions it's an expected behaviour because binaries are not provided starting from python 3.6.9

According to the message we're not planning to add support for 3.5.x and 3.6.x python versions for Ubuntu 22.04.

Got it, I'll plan on using Ubuntu 20.04, since I'm still in the unfortunate situation of supporting Python 3.6.x.

I've tried to install python versions 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 for Windows and they work as expected. For other Windows versions it's an expected behaviour because binaries are not provided starting from python 3.6.9

Whoops yeah, I meant 3.5.9, 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 for Windows, which does indeed match versions-manifest.json.

Behavior matches versions-manifest.json, closing.
