What version of Python need be installed?

I have a user installed version 3.7 that runs from Windows:

Note the version date(s) that didn't seemed to have gotten updated by their release team

C:\WINDOWS\system32>python
Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul  8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

VSCode somhow loads a version 2.7 that isn't (intentionally) installed on this PC - Maybe inside WSL?

rgc@DESKTOP-R7T0VUC:/mnt/c/Users/robin/E­spruino$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Aug 22 2019, 16:36:40) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Could this version be part of the issue?
Could the dynamic loading of Python during the build have some sort of delay that blocks the scripts from executing timely?
