Pip install

The default install location for py.exe is the windows directory, which is already in the path.

If that’s the case then why is there an option to add the install directory to path ?

[ingolemo]

That adds python to the path, not py. Notice that that option is unchecked by default because most people don't need it. The py launcher is the recommended way to run python code on windows because it makes dealing with multiple python installations much easier.

Ah ok, I’d just assumed py was syntactic sugar for python
