After running the installer run whereis python and use the alternatives to change it or use python3 instead of python #!/usr/bin/python3 Hope this helps. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Only if windows had a linux command line support instead of using power shell. Mac is not preferred OS and its just a matter of time since windows is obsolete. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
