How to have python 2 and 3 both on windows?

[Sunil KR]

Please excuse the formatting in my previous message. And it is not complete even, so here is the rest of it.
What happens after I follow the above steps:
- Upon running one of my python 2 scripts (using python2), I see this error:
    """       ^SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 237-238: truncated \uXXXX escape
I tried for a bit, but I could not isolate the content of the file that may be causing this problem. But any idea about this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Removing python3 solves this issue..

 I have some scripts that are old and won't work under python2 and at the same time I am writing new scripts which will use python3. However, if python 2 and 3 cannot co-exist in a windows box it will be impossible to transition
What I try:- remove all pythons and launchers- Use windows installer and install python2 in python27 directory- Use windows installer and install python3 in python310 directory- When installing python3 I opt in to install the launcher- Test with py -2 and py -3 and see that I get the expected prompt- just typing python gets me python2
