Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
The current Mac installer has an option to disable all installation in /usr/local/bin
It would be wonderful if this were descoped into 2 options:
1- install the versioned links /usr/local/bin
2-install/overwrite the unversioned python3 links that point to the versioned links.
When Python3.13 is installed, for example, the symlink for /usr/local/bin/python3 is updated to point to the new Python3.13 install. This creates a headache for situations where the User's primary development environment is still Python3.12 and python3 (as well as associated binaries) should still point there -- but they are adding a newer (or older) Python to their system to debug something specific.
i.e. the ability to only install Python3.13 as python3.13, and not as the new python3 as well.
