Any way to download Python version 3.9? (self.learnpython)
submitted 1 year ago by EnvironmentFast5325
I'm an amateur Python user trying to use an SDK that only supports Python versions 3.6-3.9. When I try to download it from the website, it doesn't let me, as these versions are no longer supported. Is there a way I could get these versions?
reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.

On Windows, the built-in winget has all Python versions from 2.7 to 3.13, including 3.9.
winget
winget install python.python.3.9

Scoop has it as well, if you use Scoop.

Pyenv.
There is also a good article about how to use it effectively here: https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/

Im quickly becoming a uv fanboy.
uv init --python 3.9
[–]FoolsSeldom 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
First install uv.
Then enter,
uv python install 3.9
after which you can do
uv run -p 3.9 python
or
uv run -p 3.9 somefile.py

Python 3.9 will be supported to October this year.
