If you want to test out Python 3.8 just install,but can still keep 37 as main version in Windows Path.
Thanks for your answer!
I do know that there is no problem having several versions of python, as I have been reading this forum for a while and it seems that a lot of people have installed for instance python 2.6 and python 3.7, but I'm a bit absent-minded, so I'd probably will be messing my little programs while using different versions, or even not finding them. Also, I'm a newbie, and I already had a lot of trouble trying to set the appropriate path when I first installed python 3.7.4. I had installed it in a drive, different from the root drive in order not to use the scarce space left in the root drive, and I had to look for and follow a step-by-step guide to install the appropriate path. I couldn't manage to make it work till I re-installed it in the root drive.
So, while I dare to do a few things, and some programs, I don't feel confident enough to use different versions while having to set paths and environments or other stuff. It is also a matter of space, as it seems that I have to install the packages I want to use, inside each of the different python versions I could have. I prefer to use that space with programs I write and other material. Maybe in the future, when my knowledge is better.
All the best,
