Discrepancy in Installation Python 3 on Windows

The Working with Python 3 section mentions you should use python3 to launch the Python 3 interpreter, which does not actually work. The Windows distribution provides only python.exe for all versions of Python, and to launch the Python 3 interpreter you need python. This also creates problems if you install both Python 2 and 3—the executables override each other, and only one of the exes is visible at a time through %Path% (what actually is visible depends on the order of the search paths).

AFAIK the official way to deal with this problem is through the py launcher, but that only solves the python.exe problem, not other scripts installed later during the setup (e.g. pip vs pip3), and other global tools (e.g. pipenv). It will affect other parts of the tutorial as well.

Comienza con la sección “Working with Python 3” de la guía y revisa la documentación enlazada del Python launcher para Windows. Comprueba las demás referencias del tutorial a Python, pip, pip3 y pipenv, y actualiza después las indicaciones específicas de Windows para que los comandos y las instrucciones de selección de versiones sean coherentes en todo el documento.
