Issue 36708: can not execute the python + version, to launch python under windows. (original) (raw)

I am sorry if it is existing problem

to launch Python 3.6, execute the command in Command Prompt under windows py -3.6→Success python3.6→Fail

to launch Python 3.6, execute the command in Command Prompt under Linux py -3.6→Fail python3.6→Success

I would like to unify the command. What are your thoughts on that?

More precisely, the default Python install for Windows does not include versioned executables.

If you install Python 3.7 from the Microsoft Store then you will get them, though it's not identical to the full development kit you'll get from python.org.

There may be other distributions that include versioned executables as well. Ours will only put "python.exe" on PATH
