How to install Python from an .asc file?
I want to download Python 3.5.4(https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-354/) but the Python site only gives out .asc files instead of .exe files.
I tried opening the .asc file with Adobe Acrobat Reader but i get an error telling me the file is damaged.
It really comes down to knowing how to execute an .asc file.

The ASC download links are listed in the "GPG" column. Try the "Version" column, which contains the binaries.

You are probably downloading the GPG signature, not the actual Python distribution. Please find the correct download link in the Version column.

The asc files aren't the downloads - they're GPG signatures (allowing you to verify the corresponding download files haven't been interfered with by some sinister intermediary).
The downloads files are in the left column of the "files" table - they're .exe (for windows), pkg (for OS-X), or zip/gz archives (for source code).

You have to run "Windows x86-64 executable installer" under "files" at the bottom of the page. Hope it helps!
