Scoop: Unable to install older versions of python using scoop

[ElizabethVincent261190]

Unable to install older versions of python using scoop.
The issue occurs when running:

scoop install [email protected]

This results in:

WARN  Given version (3.5.2) does not match manifest (3.8.2)
WARN  Attempting to generate manifest for 'python' (3.5.2)

This creates a folder called 3.5.2.
Within this it installed python version 3.8.2 and does not install version 3.5.2.

This is not limited to python version 3.5.2.
When I have tried other versions, I get similar warnings as above. It then creates a folder for the version number (for example, 3.7.7) and then installs 3.8.2.

I am running windows 10 and do not have admin permissions.

add versions bucket :

scoop bucket add versions
scoop search python

then try:

scoop install python35      # the latest version is 3.5.4

# or
scoop install [email protected] 

# or
scoop install python37   # will install 3.7.7

If you need a version of an app not in the versions bucket, try this approach.
