Plans to include the patch version in --list output

[MajorTanya]

Background

I have installed pymanager from winget but I believe this question is independent from the installer mechanism.

Details

I would like to see the Python patch version when looking at the py --list output. Currently, it only shows the Major.Minor version numbers.

C:\Users\User>pymanager --list
 -V:3.13 *        Python 3.13 (64-bit)
 -V:3.12          Python 3.12 (64-bit)
 -V:3.11          Python 3.11 (64-bit)
 -V:3.10          Python 3.10 (64-bit)
 -V:3.9           Python 3.9 (64-bit)
 -V:3.14          Python 3.14 (64-bit)

Are there any plans to display the installed versions as 3.13.7 instead? I don't think it matters as much for use in py -3.13 style invocations, but at least in the list of installed versions, this information could be useful and/or important (esp. with regard to knowing "do I have the latest security patch installed or not?").

I opened this as a question instead of a feature request because I couldn't find any previous discussions on this, though I assume it must have happened somewhere before (considering the patch is explicitly not shown) and I'm just unable to find it here.

Apparently, this is already the case for versions installed with pymanager itself:

C:\Users\User>pymanager --list
 -V:3.13          Python 3.13 (64-bit)
 -V:3.12          Python 3.12 (64-bit)
 -V:3.11          Python 3.11 (64-bit)
 -V:3.10          Python 3.10 (64-bit)
 -V:3.9           Python 3.9 (64-bit)
 -V:3.8[-64] *    Python 3.8.10
 -V:3.14-dev[-64] Python 3.14.0rc3

(I reinstalled 3.14 with pymanager for this)

But it works regardless of install mechanism for pymanager list:

C:\Users\User>pymanager list
Tag               Name                  Managed By  Version    Alias
3.8[-64]       *  Python 3.8.10         PythonCore  3.8.10     python3.8.exe, python3.exe
3.14-dev[-64]     Python 3.14.0rc3      PythonCore  3.14.0rc3  python3-64.exe, python3.14[-64].exe

* These runtimes were found, but cannot be updated or uninstalled. *
3.13              Python 3.13 (64-bit)  PythonCore  3.13.7
3.12              Python 3.12 (64-bit)  PythonCore  3.12.10
3.11              Python 3.11 (64-bit)  PythonCore  3.11.9
3.10              Python 3.10 (64-bit)  PythonCore  3.10.11
3.9               Python 3.9 (64-bit)   PythonCore  3.9.13

So I guess my question changes slightly to "Why is the patch version not included in py --list when it is included in py list?"

The --list option is deprecated/legacy, and so it just matches the old format in case people are parsing it.

We recommend using the new list command (and pass --format <json/csv/etc.> if you need parsing), which as you note, will give more detailed information.
