== Installers for Windows and macOS ==
This is a list of the last Python versions that had installers for Windows and macOS.
This is a list of the last Python versions that had installers for Windows and macOS.


* [https://www.python.org/downloads/ 3.11.X] (current, first with Windows ARM64)
The one for the latest version in the 3.x series could be outdated until I remember to update it.
* [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31011/ 3.10.11]
 
* [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3913/ 3.9.13] (last with macOS Intel-only)
Note about macOS: The version number indicates the SDK used to build it. For macOS 11/Universal 2 binaries, 10.9 is the minimum between 3.8 and 3.12.5; 10.13 is the minimum starting with 3.12.6.
* [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3810/ 3.8.10] (first with macOS universal2)
 
* [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-379/ 3.7.9]
{| class="wikitable"
* [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-368/ 3.6.8] (first with macOS 64-bit 10.9 only installer, last with 32/64-bit 10.6 installer)

For Windows, I made a PowerShell script to install multiple versions at once: [[/RunPythonInstallers.ps1]]

* '''Bold''' distribution versions indicates an LTS release (for distros with this distinction). <s>Strikethrough</s> indicates an EOL distribution. ''Italic'' indicates a beta distribution.
* '''Bold''' Python versions indicates the default one (what you get if you install "python3" or equivalent). This only includes what's in the official repositories.
* A "t" next to a version means a free-threading build is available.

* 3.6 - '''3.11.7'''
 
=== Xcode (macOS) ===
 
Comes with the Command Line Tools and the full Xcode.app. The binary at <code>/usr/bin/python3</code> depends on either being installed, like most of the development tools. If neither are installed, it automatically prompts for the Command Line Tools.
 
* 13 - '''3.8.9'''
* 14 - '''3.9.6'''
* 15 - '''3.9.6'''
* 16 - '''3.9.6'''
 
=== Homebrew (macOS) ===
 
Homebrew keeps the latest versions of each one supported by the PSF, excluding pre-releases.
 
=== MacPorts (macOS) ===
 
MacPorts has versions 3.2 to the latest stable release.
 
=== winget (Windows) ===
 
winget's repository contains Python versions 2.5 to 2.7 and 3.0 to 3.13. These download the installers from python.org.
 
The full list of versions is here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/p/Python/Python
 
winget can also install the Microsoft Store versions.
 
=== Microsoft Store (Windows) ===
 
Since 3.7 and Windows 10 version 1903, Python is available from the Microsoft Store. Unlike the one from the installer, this is accessed with "python" and "python3", not "py".
 
These versions are sandboxed and may not work when you want to use it with other applications.
 
* [https://apps.microsoft.com/store/search?hl=en-us&gl=us&rtc=1&publisher=Python%20Software%20Foundation All PSF apps on the Microsoft Store]
 
=== MSys2 (Windows) ===
 
MSys2 has Python 3.x and 2.x packages for each repository. Similar to Unix, the command is "python3" and "python2".
