As per https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html:
"This means that Python 3.9 supports Windows 8.1 and newer."

Isn't reflected on python.org main page which has:
"Note that Python 3.9+ cannot be used on Windows 7 or earlier."

Leaving 8.0 unaddressed.

Buildbot is only running against 8.1, not 8.0. I'm guessing that means that the docs are correct and python.org main page is wrong. I'd open an issue over there:

Will do; that is where I presumed the issue was/comment needed added, just hadn't located that repo.
