A copy of this is also in 'c:\Windows\py.ini'.
So when I do a:
py -3 -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
I would assume a "3.6..." would be printed.
But no, py.exe chooses to run my newest Python 3.8:
3.8.9 (default, Apr 13 2021, 15:54:59) [GCC 10.2.0 64 bit (AMD64)]
Only when I do 'py -3.6 -c ...', I get what I'd expect.
So is a 'py.ini' and the '[defaults]' simply ignored
or is my syntax wrong?
On windows 10 your personal py.ini is in %localappdata%\py.ini
do you have one?
Yes, that's my 'c:\Users\Gisle\AppData\Local\py.ini'
in my case.

On that, I'm getting:

Is that '-0' some 3.9+ feature?
C:\Users\barry>py

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
With a 'py', I get:

With 'py -3.6' or 'py 3.8' I get the expected.
But with 'py -3':
Python 3.8.9 (default, Apr 13 2021, 15:54:59) [GCC 10.2.0 64 bit (AMD64)] on
win32
Since I'm on a 64-bit Python, a 'py -3' totally seems to ignore
'py.ini', unless it says:
[defaults]
python3=3.6
python3=3.6-32
Strange as always.
And yes, Mats Wichmann, I've tried a 'set PYLAUNCH_DEBUG=1'.
No help.
