Unofficial Python Installers for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2
Officially, Python 3.9 and above are not supported on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Here, you can obtain unofficial Windows installers that bring back support for these older Windows versions.
Note: Windows update KB2533623 must be installed for Python to run. Ensure that your computer is up-to-date via Windows Update or install the update here.
For each Python version, this repository includes the following.
- 64-bit executable installer (e.g. python-3.9.0-amd64-full.exe)
- 32-bit executable installer (e.g. python-3.9.0-full.exe)
- 64-bit embeddable zip file (e.g. python-3.9.0-embed-amd64.zip)
- 32-bit embeddable zip file (e.g. python-3.9.0-embed-win32.zip)
- 64-bit NuGet package (e.g. python.3.9.0.nupkg)
- 32-bit NuGet package (e.g. pythonx86.3.9.0.nupkg)
- Windows help file (e.g. python390.chm) (3.9 and 3.10 only)
For the more technical among you, these installers were built from the source distributions published at https://www.python.org/downloads/source/, with the following modifications.
- Include the file api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll in the distribution. This file was obtained from https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK and is necessary for Python to run on older Windows versions.
- Create full installers that include debugging symbols and debug binaries without needing to download them.
- Allow the installer to proceed on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- For Python 3.11 or higher, remove the usage of features that are not available on Windows 7.
- Fix a few bugs in the build scripts.
See Notes.md for more specific details about how I built these installers and how you may build them yourself.
To install a .nupkg package, ensure that you have the NuGet Command-Line Interface installed. Go to the directory containing the .nupkg file in Command Prompt. Replace target\installation\directory in the following commands with the desired location to install the package.
For 64-bit Python, run nuget install python -Source %cd% -OuputDirectory target\installation\directory
For 32-bit Python, run nuget install pythonx86 -Source %cd% -OuputDirectory target\installation\directory

Python Download for Windows 7 64 bit
you can download Python for Windows 7 64-bit from the official Python website. However, please note that Python versions might have been updated since then. To download the latest version, follow these steps:
- Open your web browser and go to the official Python website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
- Scroll down to find the latest stable release of Python. You should see a section titled “Looking for a specific release?” with two buttons: “Latest Python 3 Release” and “Latest Python 2 Release.”
- Click on the “Latest Python 3 Release” button. This will take you to the download page for the most recent Python 3 version.
- On the download page, scroll down until you see the files available for download. Look for the Windows installer corresponding to your system architecture (64-bit in this case).
- Click on the link to download the Windows x86-64 executable installer. The filename should be something like “python-3.x.x-amd64.exe,” where “3.x.x” represents the latest Python 3 version available.
- Once the download is complete, locate the downloaded installer file and double-click on it to start the installation process.
- Follow the installation wizard’s instructions to install Python on your Windows 7 64-bit machine. Make sure to select the “Add Python x.x to PATH” option during installation, as it will make it easier to run Python from the command prompt.
- Once the installation is complete, you should have Python installed on your Windows 7 64-bit machine. You can verify the installation by opening the command prompt and typing “python –version” to see the installed Python version.
Does anybody know the best version of Python to use for a crappy Windows 7 machine?
Anyway, I’m a little confused on the Python IDE versions. Could anyone point me to the best version that supports Windows 7? Maybe one that’s still being supported perhaps?
I’m a beginner obviously. And I tried downloading Python, but realized the current versions seem to need Windows 8.1 or higher. So I’m just checking to see if there’s a specific older version that works best.
Kind of confused on how to install some of the older versions (not sure what a tarball is for example) but I can probably figure that out.
I’d be very appreciative! Thank you if you have any idea for me!
