Subject: python 3.8.3 fails
To: <python-list@python.org>
Hello, I successfully installed Python 3.8.3 (64-bit)
at Windows 10 LTSC 64 bit by python-3.8.3-amd64 installer
from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Also by python-3.8.3 installer,
but lastly by python-3.8.3-amd64 installer.
Then when I open powershell,
PS C:\Users\AlexJer> python
python : Python 3.8.3 (tags/v3.8.3:6f8c832, May 13 2020, 22:37:02) [MSC
v.1924 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
At line:1 char:1
+ python
+ ~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Python 3.8.3 (t...MD64)] on
win32:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
For reasons which someone wiser in the ways of Powershell will have to
describe, you have to run some programs programs with a more qualified
name. That is, try running:
python.exe
Alternatives: the Python launcher doesn't have this limitation. Try
running:
py
If you used the python.org installer, the Python Launcher is recommended
anyway.
The Python install from the Microsoft Store also doesn't have that
limitation, if you install that you should be able to run by typing just
python
There's probably some simple setup to make it work as we might
expect/wish in Powershell... but the point is: there's nothing *wrong*
with your setup.
I have Windows 10 Home and the stock Python from python.org. Typing just
"python" at the Powershell prompt starts Python without a problem.
