Install Python on Windows in 2020
The story of Python on Windows is getting better and better. In a way, it's recently become TOO GOOD and now you have to choose between 3 good options:
1. Open a com window and type Python. It'll bring you to the Microsoft store and allow you to install the very latest official python.exe and run it in your Windows command-prompt window. While this sounds great, it's backslashing you. But you do get the very latest Python 3.8.2.
2. Install Python 3.7 from the Anaconda site. You'll be a version back, but you'll also get Jupyter Notebook and Jupyter Lab and all the data science packages like numpy that are often necessary these days but hard for the beginner to install and get all the dependencies worked out.
3. Install Ubuntu 18.04 and then use the Ubuntu debian package manager (apt-get) to sudo apt-get install python3.8. While this sounds the most difficult and you do have to wait until May 2020 (if you're not on the Windows Insider program), it gives you the type of Python and Python environment that is long-term (like your entire life) useful.
