(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`30708`.) +Windows Only +------------ +- The python launcher, (py.exe), can accept 32 & 64 bit specifiers **without** + having to specify a minor version as well. So ``py -3-32`` and ``py -3-64`` + become valid as well as ``py -3.7-32``, also the -*m*-64 and -*m.n*-64 forms + are now accepted to force 64 bit python even if 32 bit would have otherwise + been used. If the specified version is not available py.exe will error exit. + (Contributed by Steve Barnes in :issue:`30291`.) + +- The launcher can be run as "py -0" to produce a list of the installed pythons, + *with default marked with an asterix*. Running "py -0p" will include the paths. + If py is run with a version specifier that cannot be matched it will also print + the *short form* list of available specifiers. + (Contributed by Steve Barnes in :issue:`30362`.) + Removed ======= |
