Just install Python 3.7 and Python 3.8 and make sure that the Python Launcher for Windows is also installed (this is the default).

Then run your scripts using py -3.7 main.py or py -3.8 main.py to run main.py using Python versions 3.7 or 3.8, respectively.

Alternatively (even better actually), you could write the required Python version in the first line of your Python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3.7

Note : this must be on the first line of the script, otherwise it doesn't work. Now just running py main.py would automatically select the correct Python version to execute the script.
