Rename detected installations

Issue #12 resolved
ST33LDI9ITAL created an issue

Hi there, I have many versions of python I use… and I need the ability to rename or add alphanumerical tag.. for example Py -winpy or Py -debug etc. Is there a way to do this? I have figured out way to get name to show using registry on py -0/--list but when calling it using py -name it just says not recognized, seems only recognizes numerical values. Can you update this feature in please? Seems that should be a pretty standard functionality to me. Shebang lines are great and all but I like to just call it from cmd… Is this project dead or still maintained? No updates in years…

    The Python launcher ( py.exe/pyw.exe) is now part of the Python project, which is why this project has not received updates in years. There are no current plans to do further maintenance of this project.

    Yea, I am aware of that just didn’t know if it was maintained there as well. Anyways, thanks for your time and work.

    I have compiled it, but do you need to run the MSI builder in order for it to function correctly because as is with just built binary I get “requested python version not installed”

    Do you know if pylauncher can be built separately from python distribution? Or do I need to build whole py dist?
