Once I install Python 3.8 from the official website and run python command from git bash shell it hangs.
There for, i suggest to include Python in the aliases.sh script.

Same issue on my end, running python hangs in Git Bash for Windows 10 (without possibility to CTRL-C), but python -V works well (and returns Python 3.9.0).

Isn't this what the Release Notes specifically talk about?

  • Some console programs, most notably non-MSYS2 Python, PHP, Node and OpenSSL, interact correctly with MinTTY only when called through winpty (e.g. the Python console needs to be started as winpty python instead of just python).

I can confirm that after upgrading Git for Windows to v2.43 that this does not work:

winpty python

Even noting the alias, and avoiding it:

$type python
python is aliased to `winpty -Xallow-non-tty python.exe'

And finding the source location of python, python3, python3.8:

 $which python
/c/Users/jason/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python

winpty still does not work in any manner.
This only happened after I upgraded Git for Windows to 2.43:

$ git update-git-for-windows
Git for Windows 2.43.0.windows.1 (64-bit)
Up to date

This corrected the issue for me:

I installed (after first uninstalling 3.8) Python 3.12.1 from:

Either works for me now:

$type python
python is aliased to `winpty -Xallow-non-tty python.exe'
$python
...or...
$winpty python
