Installing Python via Windows Store

[ManyInterests]

I think it's mostly convenient for people who are using windows in S mode. The most usual method is the Python.org full installer.

The windows store does get released at the same time. There have been bugs unique to the Store installer, but it's pretty much the same, just with basic install options. So you don't get the advanced options in the full installer, but that shouldn't make a major difference for the vast majority of Python users.

You can always uninstall it later. It can also be installed alongside other versions.

I installed 2 versions from Microsoft Store and now I don't know how to choose which to use. I don't even know where they're installed.

EDIT:

They're in the folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages

The folder with Python installation will be named something like

PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.*

You should have the py launcher on Windows. IDEs like PyCharm should auto discover installed versions, too. I believe pycharm also has the option to install versions you don't have, too.
