How to change python installation directory?

[TurnOffNOD]

Background

I installed this python install manager, when I use pymanager install <python_version> to install python, PyManager install command will install the python to C: .

Now I want pymanager install <python_version> command install python to other location, such as D:\Python\<python_version> .

Details

I read the documents https://docs.python.org/dev/using/windows.html and searched keywords "location", "directory" and find no "installation location" or "installation directory" about this new python installer.

How to change the installation directory for pymanager install?

Hah, you're right, the install_dir config setting isn't documented.

Basically, make the config file (as described in the docs), and include "install_dir": "C:\\Path\\To\\Root\\Dir" (remember to escape the backslashes).

And bear in mind that runtimes will be in subdirectories beneath this directory using names that you can't change. But if you just want it stored on another drive, that shouldn't be a big deal. If you want to extract the runtime to a specific directory, use the --target option when installing.
