I wonder if there is a reason why the official python installers for windows don't set up a python3 alias
"On Windows, the official cross-version mechanism became `py`, e.g. `py`, `py -3`, `py -3.11`." huh... does linux have `py`? Not feeling so cross-anything now, huh?
Oh look... possibly fixed in 3.14?
"A `python3` command is also included that mimics the `python` command. It is intended to catch accidental uses of the typical POSIX command on Windows, but is not meant to be widely used or recommended."You can't tell the people I can't tell what to do what to do.
