Select the python interpreter between 32 and 64 bit in windows CMD

Question

I know we can use python 2 and python 3 by calling py -2 and py -3, respectively, in machines where both python 2 and python 3 are installed.
I have installed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Python 3.7.2. Is there a way to choose between these two versions?

Answer 1

You can use the full path to your python executable,

make a permanent alias (tricky on windows but doable) to it

or edit your PATH accordingly,

you can also use a python environment manager like pipenv.

There isn't to my knowledge a built in way to do this.
