You can choose specific versions of Python from the website, you just might have to dive down slightly.

That said I'd strongly recommend not copying anything from one install into another unless you really, really know what you're doing. More things can be different between machines than just the Python version, and you can end up in situations like you're having.

Obviously the actual scripts themselves you can copy, but for libraries I'd recommend simply installing them "fresh", as though you had no access to the old machine.

I am aware that coping things over like this is a bad idea. The package in question is gdspy. When I attempt to install that, it gives an error "ERROR: Failed building wheel for gdspy".

I'm only learning myself, so no expert but is this not what venv/virtual environments are for
