My main problem is how can I use python 3.6.12 on Windows?
Since I need to use 3.6.x, I am seeking the latest version available in this branch (currently 3.6.12) to still avail from security patches.
This gives two paths:
install 3.6.8 with MSI installer then update it to 3.6.12 from source,
install 3.6.12 from the source.
What are the measures involved in option 1 or 2?
