Installers for Windows and macOS
This is a list of the last Python versions that had installers for Windows and macOS.
The one for the latest version in the 3.x series could be outdated until I remember to update it.
Note about macOS: The macOS 11/Universal 2 builds still work on 10.9, but include an arm64 slice for binaries.

Unlike most other distributions, "python" on Arch Linux refers to 3.x and not 2.7.
SteamOS

- 3.4 - 3.10.8

FreeBSD
(This can be outdated until I find a better way to get all the versions FreeBSD has in its repository.)
- 13.2 - 3.11.4, 3.10.12, 3.9.17, 3.8.17, 3.7.17
Xcode (macOS)
Comes with the Command Line Tools and the full Xcode.app. The binary at /usr/bin/python3
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
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 3.12. 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.
MSys2 (Windows)
MSys2 has Python 3.x and 2.x packages for each repository. Similar to Unix, the command is "python3" and "python2".
