  • you need tar to extract those files .. if you have git for windows, `tar zxvf Python-3.5.5.tgz` should do the trick .. however, i do have doubts that the file you have is the correct one as tar packages usually are just source code and then you need proper compiler to make that into a working python interpreter – rasjani Jul 18 '22 at 12:18
  • @rasjani yes actually I have extracted the files and when I write pip install Python-3.5.5 it writes ERROR: could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Python-3.5.5 ERROR:No matching distribution found for Python-3.5.5 – Asky Jul 18 '22 at 12:37
  • @rasjani, just for information, tar.exe has been a built-in utility since Windows 10. There's no need to install git. – Compo Jul 18 '22 at 14:10

You can find the installers for windows here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

The file you have is not suitable for installing on Windows.

  • yes, actually that's from where I got the files for python 3.5.5 version, I only found compressed files – Asky Jul 18 '22 at 12:38
  • It seems that there are no installers for that version, there is only the source code, you can try looking for the version in other web pages (I don't recommend it) or download another version like 3.5.4: https://www.python.org/ downloads/release/python-354/ – Miquel Muntaner Jul 18 '22 at 12:43
  • I ve just installed 3.5.4rc1 version and it was succesufully installed, but when using it as an interpreter on pycharm, it tells me that python 3.5 reached its end of life date and it is no longer supported in Pycharm.. so I suppose that I cannot develop using older versions? – Asky Jul 18 '22 at 15:49
