Installing Python on a Windows PC
Nov. 21st, 2020 03:50 pmI want to start learning Python, but all the different options are making it very difficult to know which is the right one for me. Then there are these warnings about where you install it.
What does x86 mean? Some recommendations are to use the Windows launcher--what is that? What is PEP ? Where should I install Python on my hard drive?
Seriously, there are more flavors of Python than there are of Coke.
Does anyone have advice on this?

Python Downloads
The link to the actual install program that I've recommended is:
Windows 64-bit 3.9.0 installer
