I don't think a general web search is really such a good
idea, as it is vital for the OP to download a _legitimate_
copy of the software, one that is not filled  with bloatware
and/or infected with exploits. And the only way to know you
have a legit copy of Python software is to download it from
the official Python.org website.

Random web searches are great when you know what you're
looking for, however, if the OP finds himself/herself on a
shady site like downloads.com, or worse, somewhere in the
filthy virus infected catacombs of Bill and Hillary
Clinton's private email server haphazardly jammed into a
bathroom closet with all manner of toiletries and even a
commercial quality washing machine filled with Clinton Cash,
you never know what you might find in there! 

Eh comrade? o_O
