Suggestion to Unify Python Shim Styles in Version and Main

In the Version bucket, versions like Python 3.11 and Python 3.10 have added shims such as python31x and idle31x. However, these unified naming conventions are missing in Main.

Here is the configuration for Python 3.11 in the Version bucket:

"bin": [
    [
        "python.exe",
        "python3"
    ],
    [
        "python.exe",
        "python311"
    ],
    "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
    [
        "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
        "idle3"
    ],
    [
        "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
        "idle311"
    ]
],

Here is the configuration for Python 3.10 in the Version bucket:

"bin": [
    [
        "python.exe",
        "python3"
    ],
    [
        "python.exe",
        "python310"
    ],
    "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
    [
        "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
        "idle3"
    ],
    [
        "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
        "idle310"
    ]
],

Current Main Configuration:

"bin": [
    [
        "python.exe",
        "python3"
    ],
    "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
    [
        "Lib\\idlelib\\idle.bat",
        "idle3"
    ]
],

Recommendation:

To facilitate differentiation when multiple Python environments are installed simultaneously, I suggest modifying the Main configuration to align with the Version configuration by adding the corresponding python310, python311, and idle310, idle311 shims.
