for people whose "python -V" is showing old version after pyenv shell NEW_PYTHON_VERSION, head over to search bar and type "Manage app execution aliases" and untoggle all the python related thing, check if the command works now in a new terminal, if not then you have to uninstall all the previous instances of python installed from control panel while having already done the first step above. It should solve the issue. Enjoy folks!! Nice video dude <3

This was completely necessary for someone like me running full time linux and having to work sometimes on windows with no idea how to even "cd" or "ls -l" on windows. Thank god the powershell has those commands.

Thank you tremendously for this video--you beautifully outlined or "colored-in" what was missing from the GitHub docs to run versions and even virtual environment with VS Code. Brilliant. Thank you. 🙂

Using the the command pyenv shell 3.7.9 does not change the python version to 3.7.9 rather gives me my default system python version
