"Python was not found" error message when running inside virtual environment

[vincentoconnell]

When running the command

gimme-aws-creds -k --profile

inside a venv I get the following error with no other details:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

This is a fresh Windows 10 install. Python 3.9.7 and 3.10.0 were just installed under C:. Default installation options and installed for all users. Both Python versions are on PATH.

Running -V commands verifies that both Python installations are available.

gimme-aws-creds is running inside a venv created with Python 3.9 (due to the endless installation bug with 3.10).

Expected Behavior

Generate temporary credentials for the specified profile.

Current Behavior

Error message:

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. py -3.9 -V
2. py -3.9 -m venv venv
3. venv\Scripts\activate
4. pip install gimme-aws-creds
5. Create okta_aw_login_config under user directory
6. python -V
7. pip -V
8. gimme-aws-creds -k --profile

Your Environment

Brand new Windows 10 laptop (Windows 10 Entreprise 64 bit). Brand new Python 3.9.7 and 3.10.0 installations from the Windows installers. Only non-default options are installing for all users, placing in C:, and checking "add to PATH". gimme-aws-creds was installed using pip inside a virtual environment. virtual environment was Python 3.9.7 because 3.10.0 produces issue #320

You have to modify the file named gimme-aws-creds.cmd. (located probably in the Site folder of your Python environment)

Line 8: for %%j in (python3.%%i) do ( must be changed to for %%j in (python.%%i) do (

In older version of Python, the python executable for Python 3 was named python3.exe to differentiate with Python 2 which was python.exe. The gimme-aws-creds.cmd command file is still looking for this old executable.
