We tried this yesterday, but unfortunately ran into a problem
installing Python 3.5 so didn't get as far as testing the Biopython
installers: http://bugs.python.org/issue25144

I have copied Ben's files to the website anyway, but not yet linked
to them from the wiki's Download page:

http://biopython.org/DIST/biopython-1.66.win32-py3.5.exe
http://biopython.org/DIST/biopython-1.66.win32-py3.5.msi

This does at least make it a bit easier for volunteers to try them.
I will reach out to the original requester again via Twitter...
