If installed, the app distribution has an appexec link for
"python3.exe" that actually works.

Note there is no python3.exe binary.

You can manually copy or symlink python.exe to python3.exe in the
installation directory and venv "Scripts" directories. However, it
will only be used on the command line, and other contexts that search
PATH. Currently the launcher will not use it with a virtual "env"
shebang. The launcher will search PATH for "python", but not
"python3".


Thanks. Sure, there are many ways to fix this manually, or work around it. Would be great if it was consolidated, with one command "to rule them all."
