  • pyenv-win

    pyenv for Windows. pyenv is a simple python version management tool. It lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.

    If they say no, there are some ways around it. If you can get Git Bash installed, you can use it as an alternative shell, which has its own PATH variable separate from the main Windows one. You can modify this PATH in your .bashrc file, without needing admin rights. Then just use that shell to launch Python and do things, rather than cmd or Powershell. Likewise, you can clone the pyenv for Windows repo and install different Python versions without admin rights. You'll need to fiddle with your .bashrc a bit to get it all working. There may be other ways of doing this, but this has worked reliably for me.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
