Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

print-traffic option not showing any effect in the Windows binary.

PS: Is that related to #9365 ?

--print-traffic does not work prior to Python 3.5.2. Windows build is built against Python 3.4.4.

[spookyahell]

Will that change?

[dstftw]

What that?

[spookyahell]

Sorry, the version of Python that the Windows binary is based on, will it be built with 3.5.2 or higher at a later point to solve the problem?

[dstftw]

Using Python 3.5.x version for Windows build means dropping support for Windows XP. Separate 3.4.x and 3.5.x builds may be provided in future however I don't see pressing need for this at the moment.
