Got some error messages while installing Python 3.5.1 (Anaconda). Here is the traceback:

I should probably add that this was after using conda update on a Python 3.5.0 installation.

Please report this to the anaconda bug tracker. Anaconda is a third party bundle that includes CPython, but the errors don't look like they have anything to do with CPython or its standard library. In any case, a bug report like this would need to start on the 3rd party tracker and only move here if a bug in CPython itself is identified.
