On Windows, have an option to automatically make a symlink from python3.exe
to python.exe
when using the installer to install Python. This way, people don’t need to manually create the symlink themselves by using the mklink
command, and people who are accustomed to Linux and macOS where typing python
often launches Python 2 instead of 3 won’t be confused when they type in python3
after using the installer and see the Microsoft Store open, instead of the freshly-installed copy of Python. (Microsoft makes python3
launch the Microsoft Store to install Python by default.)
