Hi,
On Windows 10, I uninstalled all previous versions of Python and
installed v3.9.6.
When I use the start menu option Python 3.9 (64-bit), I get the prompt
"Python 3.9.6" as expected. The same happens when I type "py" at the
DOS prompt.
But when I type "python" at the DOS prompt, I get "Python 3.8.10". I
don't understand this, as I uninstalled old versions, and I do not see a
DOS environment variable called "python" anywhere.
The real problem comes when I install a package, e.g. germalemma.
Python 3.8.10 can use it, but Python 3.9.6 can't find it.
I notice that "site-packages" containing germalemma and its dependencies
is located in
...Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundationPython.3.8.qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python3.8
Also there is a load of python 3.8 stuff at C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_3.8.2800.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0
which directory is virtually inaccessible from Windows but can be listed
in DOS.
How can I get rid of Python 3.8.10 , and install my packages to 3.9.6?
