The Python Launcher exists for this purpose. Otherwise, as Abhiram
notes, you have to add to PATH, which on Windows is a bit of an
irritant, because that path entry will change as the Python version
changes (e.g. when you change from 3.8 to 3.9 you'll have a different
default path location). Try locating Python by using the command
py
in a command shell (or in PowerShell).
