Hi,

Python 3.9.14 has been released on Sept. 6, 2022. As I can see written on https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3914/:

According to the release calendar specified in PEP 596, Python 3.9 is now in the "security fixes only" stage of its life cycle: the 3.9 branch only accepts security fixes and releases of those are made irregularly in source-only form until October 2025. Python 3.9 isn't receiving regular bug fixes anymore, and binary installers are no longer provided for it. Python 3.9.13 was the last full bugfix release of Python 3.9 with binary installers.

Is there a safe way to install a 64-bit version of Python 3.9.14 on Windows?

Thanks,
Uri.

Hi Uri!

In order to do what you want you'd have to build it from source. 

This Stack Overflow question and answer seems to contain or refer to all the required information, to do so. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51216675/building-python-from-the-source-as-64-bit

It also might be the case that upgrading to 3.10 would be of similar efforts, I would at least consider that option as well.

Happy building!
Yotam

Hi Yotam,

I was hoping to find an installer from another source (not officially Python) and not to have to compile sources myself. I can use Python 3.10.7 on Windows and actually I also upgraded to Python 3.9.14 on Linux/Ubuntu (my production server), but I think it's not the right time to stop using Python 3.9 yet. I just have Django tests that should pass only with the newest versions (3.10.7 / 3.9.14) and I want to run them locally. I'm not running anything related to production locally (on Windows).

I also asked on Stack Overflow:

Thanks,
Uri.

If parity with production is what you seek, then I'd consider using either Docker or WSL (A land of wonder and peril, for sure)

But to your specific question, I'm not personally familiar with non official binaries, good luck with your search.

You should use pyenv-win to build your Python executable from source. pyenv-win is a port of pyenv to Windows.

Awesome idea! Wasn't familiar with the Windows port!
