Py.exe not working after 3.11rc1 install

Core Development

I have a Windows 10 VM that I use to build extensions for python.

Previously I had 3.11a3 installed.

After installing both python 3.11rc1 32 and 64 bit versions the py command is not working. Here is what I see in cmd:

Did I do something wrong?
Is this a bug?
Do you want a bug report?

Very definitely raise a bug report. And flag it for the RM’s attention, as it has the potential to be a release blocker, even at this late stage. I hit a couple of bugs in the new py.exe implementation earlier in the release cycle, but it’s been fine since rc1, so it’s possible you’re hitting an edge case - but better to get it reported so someone can check.

I ran into this too, it looks like the -64 has been dropped from name of the 64-bit versions now for the launcher (see the listing). Just make that change in your py.ini: python=3.10 and it should unstick it. Whether this was an intentional change, I couldn’t easily determine.

How do I flag it for RM attention?

I’ve commented on the issue and pinged @pablogsal. I’ve also marked it as a release blocker pending his decision.
