Description
Install source and version
- Installed from the Windows Store
- Installed with the MSIX from python.org
- Installed with the MSI from python.org
- Installed with
winget install 9NQ7512CXL7T
Version: 26.0.240.0
Describe the bug
when Python Install Manager installs a new runtime, that runtime is listed in the winget list command. This is new-ish, and it introduces a weird bug where winget upgrade --all will detect it as needing an upgrade, and install the "old" style python installer, which may clobber the py command with the old launcher.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open terminal.
- Install pymanager
winget install 9NQ7512CXL7T - run the launcher
pyand let it automatically install the latest version of Python (3.14.3 as of this writing) - run
winget list
Expected behavior
Either the runtime doesn't exist at all in the list, being managed by Python Install Manager, OR the runtime exists with proper version listed and allows winget to upgrade the appropriate package rather than installing the standalone.
Observed behavior
The runtime appears as:
Python 3.14.3 Python.Python.3.14 < 3.14.0 3.14.3 winget
The < 3.14.0 is the real killer here, but I suspect even with the correctly reported version it would still clobber if the runtime version was bumped before the Python Install Manager got its chance to grab the new one.
