I have installed python without adding python to PATH and disabling py launcher. Yet when i type python -3.7 or py -3.7 in the command prompt, the python interpreter opens. As far as i have researched this should not be possible since python is not added to path and the launcher is also not installed.

So when i opened the installer again to modify the settings, the "Add Python to environment variables" checkbox and "py launcher" checkbox is enabled. Is this a new feature in python 3.6 and 3.7 installer to automatically add python to path even when "Add Python 3.6 to Path" checkbox is not ticked?

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Try to run where.exe python and see where it is installed. Is it the same as where you've chosen it to install? Commented Aug 24, 2018 at 8:19
