Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

It is probably too late for this change, a new launcher should be approved by the SC soon. You can open an issue there with your suggestion: https://github.com/zooba/pymanager

Thanks for the heads-up and for pointing me at zooba/pymanager. I opened this issue back in December but only just had the bandwidth to sketch out a working PR (sorry for that). I’ll take a look through the pymanager repo later today and open an issue there so it can be folded into the upcoming launcher rewrite. Thanks again!
