Installing Security only updates for 3.7.12

[DailyLlama]

I am not a Python developer, I am an IT admin who manages SCCM deployments. Part of my role is to keep applications up to date so that security patches are deployed.

I'm fine with deploying Python 3.8, 3.9 & 3.10 updates to my users, as they come with a great installer that I can use with the Layout function, and command line switches.

I am having real issues with updating 3.6 and 3.7 though. I've downloaded the latest releases (3.6.15 & 3.7.12), but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to deploy them to the 100+ users with these versions installed.

With someone's help from another forum I was able to build my own binary, but when I install that, it doesn't update the existing installation, it just installed another one alongside it called 3.7 (test).

I can't be the only person who has this problem, but I can't find any solutions or documentation that help, so I'm posting here.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!

please see: pyenv Simple Python Version Management
if you install pyenv, you can make all required python versions available on your server, and have individual projects create virtual environments, with whatever python version needed for that project.

Thanks for the reply, but it's not about that.

For example, I have 25 PCs with 3.10.1 installed. The new patch was released, so I push out 3.10.2 to them all. They're now all updated, easy.

I have 49 with 3.7.9 installed. This is the last version of 3.7 that is provided with an executable installer.

Source files are released with security updates for 3.7.12. How do I install these on the 45 computers that need the security patch?

Am I to understand from the lack of replies that nobody has come across this before?
