Venv behaviour change py3.9

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer]

Well i am no longer on the PC but here are some more info:

windows 10, 64bit

I downloaded Python 3.9 yesterday, added the root folder to path
renamed python.exe to py39.exe and did

py39 -m venv venv

the output was

No such file or directory but i dont remember the exact phrase

Kind Regards,
