Installing Python 3.8.11 from TGZ File
#3
If you want to compile Python on Windows for Windows, you need all build-dependencies.
I guess the easiest way is the use of Visual Studio Community Edition to compile Python, but you can do it also with WSL.

If you look for the current state, which versions how long are supported, 3.8 ends 2024-10.

It's better to upgrade early.
If you're going to port your program to a newer version, you can look here, what has been changed:

https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3....ython-3-10
https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3....ython-3-11
https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3....ython-3-12
