- [nitpick] Consider clarifying the conditional handling of the architecture. Using explicit variables or abstractions for base architecture and freethreaded variations can reduce confusion between 'x86' and 'x86-freethreaded' cases.
if (architecture === 'x86' && (major > 3 || (major === 3 && minor >= 10))) {

Description:
This update modifies the PATH handling for Python installations on Windows, specifically for the --user flag. For Python 3.10 and above, architecture-specific directories (e.g., Python310-32) are added to the PATH, while for earlier versions, the default --user path is used. This ensures proper environment configuration for user-installed Python versions based on version and architecture.
