This is only used for sound at present (see #1041) and it is blocked by the lack of released version of cx_freeze for python 3.5: [https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/pull-requests/83]. But since trunk supports 3.5, we could always use a known working version (and snapshot it if necessary).
Low priority.

The latest 3.4.5 release is no longer available as binaries for win32.
Python 3.5 does not support XP... blocked by #678

The new MSYS2 build system (#678) does use python 3.5, but the broken cx_freeze code prevents us from using python3 for the sound subprocess (#1386).

Will re-visit if and when cx_freeze support improves.
