Problems trying to install mingw python version

Greeting, I installed the mingw in MSYS2, but the python installed was the 3.8 version and I want to use TensorFlow with the GTK, but TensorFlow 2.0 is supported only with versions 3.6 and 3.7. So, how should I install the python with a specific version? Spent a hour looking for the solving, but didn't find anything useful.

Thanks

Solution

    1. Go to mysys2 repo site, http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/

    2. Download a copy of older version, for example, http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/python-3.6.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

    3. Install the package with pacman -U python-3.6.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

    I am not sure if you need to uninstall python3.8 first before running commands above.
