[cesarcoatl]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

python

Expected/Current Behaviour

Failing checkver is not allowing Excavator to retrieve the latest version.

Steps to Reproduce

PS> .\bin\checkver.ps1 python
python: couldn't match 'Latest Python 3 Release - Python ([\d.]+)' in https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

Possible Solution

Fix version checker or change checkver:

    "checkver": {
        "url": "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/",
        "regex": "href=\"(3\\.12\\.[\\d])/",
        "reverse": true
    },

It looks like checkver is getting a gzipped version of the page rather than the HTML. We should fix this rather than switching checkver to the FTP page because we will get stuck on version 3.12.x with that regex.
