Hello I am having great problems installing Python 3.8.1 on my Windows 10 64 bit system. I have tried using chocolatey as referenced at https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/win/#install3-windows - it says it is installed but it isn't!
I've tried downloading from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (the Windows x86-64 executable installer <https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.1/python-3.8.1-amd64.exe>) and running that. Again says it is installed - but it clearly isn't. If I open a command prompt and type 'python', I get TCC: (Sys) The file cannot be accessed by the system "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe" If I search in that directory, I find a <SYMLINK> to python.exe. I have added that directory to my Path. I can see Python 3.8.1 in the Control Panel. I've rebooted. Reinstalled. Tried just about everything - but cannot get past either the crazy Microsoft Store app request or 'the file cannot be accessed' message. HELP!! Any advice is REALLY welcome! Thanks Mike -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
