FWIW, individual msi files are still available on python.org, e.g. (for 3.7.4 
64-bit)
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/amd64/

This is essentially how the web-based installer works. Those msi files map 
quite nicely to individual options of the exe wrapper, so it shouldn’t be too 
difficult to figure out what you need (or you can just read the CPython source).

I assume existing versions are guaranteed to work as long as python.org works 
(otherwise the web-based installer would cease to work), but there’s likely no 
compatibility guarantees for future releases.

Correct. The installer technology used for the python.org builds
changed some time ago (I think Python 3.4 was the last version to use
an MSI installer).
