Available from the Microsoft store apparently: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/python/beginners

If you're talking GNU/Linux, then use the package manager of what ever distro you ended up using.

You can download python from the official python website. https://www.python.org/downloads/

You can use the curses library to write text-display programs.

I have like ten different installs of python detected by Visual Studio. I think, (I don't know this) that you need to find examples/documentation of the right version to work with whatever version you download.

Just get the one through the Windows store, and bear in mind that tons of sample code out there is probably outdated.

Also don't install a new version just because your code doesn't compile, as fun as it seems, it will make visual studio slower to start.

Python code is pretty stable between versions. The main thing you should check is the difference between Python 2 and Python 3.
