Creating python 3.3 environment in Anaconda

I would like to create a python 3.3 environment in Anaconda (latest Minicoda3 installed).

I tried using conda create -n py33 python=3.3:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - python=3.3

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/win-64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/win-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/noarch

(I added conda-forge too in case there is a python 3.3 version there). Looking up the Anaconda and Conda-forge repositories, it seems to me that python 3.3 is deprecated, as it is not listed among the available packages.

However, I would need to use python 3.3. I would prefer to do it through Anaconda, but it is not strictly necessary. Also, given that Python 3.3 is not available in the Anaconda repo, I suppose additional python packages wouldn't be available either?

It turned out that Python 3.3 is available in the 'free' repository:

conda create -n py33 python=3.3 --channel free

This worked flawlessly.
