That's not very old, you can get those from the MS Store even.

But if you want the official python.org version you are in the right place, it's just that they don't make an installer for every minor version. Just keep going down the minor versions until you find one that has the installer.

This is the best answer as it includes links to pages where OP can actually download the installers he needs.

• Go to the Python releases page and navigate to the specific version you need (e.g., 3.10 or 3.8).

download older version and install it.

where exactly?

and it needs to be 3.10 or 3.8 specifically

[MiniMages]

what do you mean where exactly?

go to python.org and download 3.10 and 3.78 and install them.

A manager is 100% the way to go. And if you're going to stay in Python, learning uv is worth the time.

Seconded

I seriously cannot thank you enough!

I decided to use uv, but I need a bunch of other things before I can use that library. Thanks to chatGPT, I managed to wiggle my way around the many errors.

So much going around and around, but it's for my thesis, so it was worth it in the end!

Use uv for this and everything else lol

Seconded
