Most of the time, the OS would integrate Python in some version. We can check the version first. If Python is not installed, we can install it then.
% python --version
Python 2.7.16
% python3 --version
Python 3.7.3
$ python --version
Python 2.7.18
$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.6
If Python is not installed:
$ python --version
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
When Python is installed, it shows:
$ python --version
Python 3.8.5
