Providing all pre-compiled Python versions 3.9 to 3.12 #239

It might be good to provide all the precompiled versions of Python. Or maybe add a message (on Linus) saying that only 3.11 is precompiled and readily available, while the others require compilation (2-3 minutes).

Adding a warning/alert is better I believe. Because if we decide to add all precompiled versions of python, it will increase the package size by alot. Almost doubling it or more..

We might want to go with a different approach though. Maybe uploading the precompiled versions as assets to the release, and allowing the app to download them when requested can save us some time.

For now let's add a warning - I will share my thoughts with you guys for the second approach later on.
