Python from the App Store is not the same as Python from python.org:
yes. this question is about the python.org distribution. but, Windows
natively has something called python.exe and python3.exe which is
interfering here, IF the python.org install isn't directed to put
itself into the path, AND if the "#!/usr/bin/env python3" form is
used, causing a search in PATH, which is the setup Sibylle has
described, unless I've misunderstood details.
No, you didn't misunderstand any detail. It's exactly right. My Windows
10 box doesn't find anything for "where python", "where python3",
Be interesting to know if your WIndows 10 has those files in place, and
it's just a missing path entry (a good thing, perhaps) that's causing it
not to be found there.
while the new Windows 11 machine finds the Microsoft stub. "Irritating" is a
very friendly attribute for that thing. Why must it be called
"python.exe" and not something else like the installation files from
python.org?
it will be replaced by the real "python.exe" from the Microsoft Store
install, if you go ahead and install that - I guess that's why that name
was chosen.
I'll stop using "/env" - hopefully that won't create problems with the
scripts I use in the Linux VM. But in that case I'll know what's up.
Thank you very much!
