After installing Windows Terminal, Command Prompt, Windows Powershell, Powershell Core and Windows Subsystem for Linux will be automatically added to the selection bar of Windows Terminal.
However, Windows Terminal will not be automatically added after installing Python.
I hope that Python can be automatically added to Windows Terminal in a future versions.

As explained in /dup #6131, we're not going to do this by default. Our users have so, so many different things they want that we opted to allow for customization rather than automatic detection for third-party software.

Sure thing! Sorry about that :) I know it would be pretty cool if we detected everything, though... 😁
