probably not, as by default the last one will be in any way proposed
the next time you will update python.
I still need to figure how to effectively manage the
3 python3.x in parallel

all the content of that package is link to the 3.6 or 3.8 binary

$ ls -l $(cygcheck -l python3)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Marco Kein  8 Jun 20 06:27 /usr/bin/pydoc3 -> pydoc3.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Marco Kein 13 Jun 20 06:27 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.8.exe
-rw-rw-r-- 1 Marco Kein 46 Jun 15 21:21 /usr/share/man/man1/python3.1.gz

if you install python37 package and than modify the link
by yourself to point to pydoc3.7 and python3.7m.exe
than python3 will execute python3.7


Question: any reason to not use python 3.8 ?
