No, but if your script can download a zip of Python, it could download
the nuget executable.

Same as interrupting an unzip operation.

NuGet installs are basically just an unzip process, so you simply have
2 different folders containing a Python installation.

Use '-Version <version-string>' as an option to 'nuget install'.
<version-string> can be any of the versions listed on
https://www.nuget.org/packages/python/.

> Don't get me wrong maybe it can do all these things, but why on earth do I need this? I can even produce this .zip myself, just the regular installer run with /Q and then copy it, but I need to do that for each new release and everyone else who might need it will also need to do that.

It is available to all and is provided by the Windows release manager,
see https://www.nuget.org/packages/python/.
