I assume you typed "python".

And I assume that it is because you have python 2.7.17 installed and its on
your PATH.

To run python 3.9.1 do this in cmd.exe

py -3.9

It is also likely that just typing "py" will run python 3.9.1.
Typing "py -2" will run python 2.

Run this to find all the versions of python that you have available:

py -0

Please, copy-paste all the content of your terminal (I presume this is wht you 
name cmd.exe).

Question - problem downloading Python

2021-01-14 Thread christine tiscareno 
I installed in my lap-top your latest version of Python (3.9.1), yet when I
go to cmd.exe   to check,  I get that I have Python 22.7.17 ???

Why? What should I do to get the latest version?

  I tried going back to fix problems and it does not fix it, that is how I
got your email.

How can I get the latest Python version (3.9.1), instead of what I'm
getting (22.7.17)?

Thank you for your time.
