I'm fairly sure that if you install Python using the official installer and select the "Add to PATH" option that the actual executable will be used. I'll check later in a clean VM to confirm and update this comment.
- anaisbetts 6y agoThe problem is that MS's python can end up taking path precedence even if you install via the installer, I've hit this before. It's Just A Bug, one that I'm sure that Microsoft would be very happy to fix if folx complained to the right people. The stub python.exe could very easily search PATH to see if it's getting put first and delegate, or the official Python installer could recognize and fix this
