And I didn't want to add to the packages (the handful of python37-* I use) I build/maintain myself for my Cygwin installs.

move is in progress. Around a third of packages are already in place.
Anything you are particularly missing ?

same on other distri.
Debian seems to provide 3.5, 3.7 and 3.8 plus starting with 3.9

current horse is 3.6, next horse is 3.8

In the meantime we are also changing rider as the most expert
