CYGWIN CHANGES

Only python 3.9 and 3.12 are updated.

Python 2, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8  are not anymore supported upstream.

https://devguide.python.org/versions/#versions

The main packages include postinstall script that
use "alternatives" to define for

   /usr/bin/python

   /usr/bin/python3
   /usr/bin/idle3
   /usr/bin/pydoc3

a default to the highest package available.

$ alternatives --display python
python - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.12
/usr/bin/python3.12 - priority 312
/usr/bin/python3.9 - priority 39
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.12.

Rationale:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
In other systems as Debian
/usr/bin/python is discouraged.

DESCRIPTION
Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly
and integrate systems more effectively.
