[python-3.x] "Permission Denied" trying to run Python on Windows 10

This is due to the way Windows App Execution Aliases work in Git-Bash.

It is a known issue in MSYS2 failing to access Windows reparse points with IO_REPARSE_TAG_APPEXECLINK

As a workaround, you can alias to a function invocation that uses cmd.exe under the hood.

Add the following to your ~/.bashrc file::

function python { cmd.exe /c "python $1 $2 $3";}

For python, I'd recommend just toggling off app execution aliases as in the accepted answer, but for libraries that are distributed exclusively through the windows store like winget, this is your best option.
