Asyinc

That word makes me imagine two threads taking the long way home.

I am curious why a store version is preferred over what you can get from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

Both the Anaconda and Windows Store versions act weirdly and unreliable when trying to use the Python binary from an application loading it. I'd avoid both of them, at least if you care about having an installed binary for applications to load that embed Python.

when i see evidence from a phoronix dance battle python benchmark, then i will believe tricycle riding pythonbaristas.

Does the Windows Store version install Python to C:\Program Files\python or to yet another of those GUID-type directories?

The latter. As far as I understand, all UWP apps install to those weird GUID directories. Thats one of the reasons why the Windows Store version is completely unusable as a shared binary.

Not familiar with Windows Store (what ever that is) . But we (at work) use WinPython for all our Windoze Python systems. Can install anywhere. Using 3.10 now. 3.11 will come eventually. Fast enough right now, but faster is always better .

On a seperate note, GraalVM's Python implementation seems to be making good progress: https://github.com/oracle/graalpytho...thon-changelog

They claim its extremely quick... in what it supports.
