In Powershell, there's Get-FileHash python-3.7.1-amd64.exe -Algorithm sha512. The default algorithm is SHA256. On Windows, it's surprisingly often the case that things which traditionally fell under "Windows users probably don't have a tool to do that" are available in Powershell. None of which is that relevant, the fact still remains that no matter what algorithm is used, the hash only has limited value as a security measure.
