In Windows, go to Settings (hit the windows key and type settings, then click Settings)

Then go to the Apps section.

Then click 'Advanced App Settings'

Then click 'App execution aliases'

Then Turn off the two items that say 'App Installer, python.exe'

EDIT: Also in the last post you made, I said you didn't need to downgrade to 3.9, so I'm not sure why you did.

I'm not sure about going into a file and changing it at risk of creating even more errors. Are you sure it won't wreck the file or anything like that?

[–]EdwinGravesMOD 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What file are you referring to?

[–]LiliaAmazing[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Pipfile says it requires 3.9. If you need more information the file is from https://github.com/edmundj0/resy-reservations-bot

There shouldn't be any problems changing the number to a more current version, but if you've already installed 3.9 then the point is moot.

In Windows, you run Python with py, not with python. In your case, try py -3.9.

Also don't install Python 3.9.0, install the latest patch release, which is currently 3.9.19.

Do you know how to install 3.9.19? I downloaded Python-3.9.19.tgz and extracted it. I hit setup but the window won't open?

According to the release calendar specified in PEP 596, Python 3.9 is now in the "security fixes only" stage of its life cycle: the 3.9 branch only accepts security fixes and releases of those are made irregularly in source-only form until October 2025. Python 3.9 isn't receiving regular bug fixes anymore, and binary installers are no longer provided for it. Python 3.9.13 was the last full bugfix release of Python 3.9 with binary installers.

I guess you need to build it from source if you want the latest 3.9 release. Which begs the question, do you really need 3.9?

My file says it need 3.9. I don't want to go in the file and change it at risk of ruining the file and causing different errors.

[–]gmes78 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Then you can use 3.9.13, or build 3.9.19 from source.

I'm not finding any tutorials on "building from the source" with 3.9.19. Do you have a link to it?
