Python install and

[Techie-Tech]

Hi all,

 

I'm tearing my hair out with Python and wondered if any of you could help.

 

I have rolled out a new install of 3.13 and it seems to install fine, but I want to know how to uninstall previous installs as part of the process of a new install of Python.

 

Also, how do you add libraries etc.

 

It just seems a complete headache!

how are you deploying it?

Hi there,

 

Ideally via GPO.

 

Thanks

Just delete them with the installation script and deploy that witht he GPO.

 

Pyenv is my goto managing python installs

Thanks for the link, but I wouldn't even know where to start with that.

Sorry, it's not available on windows - I just assumed it would be for some reason.

 

Pyenv does not officially support Windows and does not work in Windows outside the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Moreover, even there, the Pythons it installs are not native Windows versions but rather Linux versions running in a virtual machine -- so you won't get Windows-specific functionality.

I'd probably just learn to script it, you'll have to be uninstalling old versions and pip installing and updating things anyway. Generally if run elevated things will install for all users
