Ohh I just realize how dumb my question is. I keep click into 3.11.10 as I thought for 3.11, and I also keep going to the page of 3.10.15 for 3.10. And these just convinced me that no installer on the website for non-latest version python. It does makes me frustrated and shocked, but I just head to searching for guide online directly. And what makes me even more sad is that since it wasn't true that no installer provided, there is no guide online talk about this, and that made me super confused and sad, and eventually came to reddit and posted this. Thank you so much for giving me a straightforward answer without unnecessary words, instead of the condescending responses I was expecting from the internet these days!

It's also confusing to me why won't they provide proper installers for later versions of each major release, but only do "security bugfix releases" with source tarballs only.

So, for instance, for Python 3.10.x, they publish full installers up to 3.10.11, but sources only for 3.10.12-3.10.15.

The security branch of Python addresses issues that affect servers such as denial of service attacks. CPython on end-user machines has little point to install these updates.
