### New Features
3030

31-
- A new extractor option has been added to the Python extractor.
32-
Pass one of `--extractor-option python_executable_name=py`
33-
or `--extractor-option python_executable_name=python`
34-
or `--extractor-option python_executable_name=python3`
35-
to `codeql database create` (or `codeql database trace-command` or,
36-
for indirect tracing, `codeql database init`) to override the default
37-
Python executable search and selection behavior of the Python
38-
extractor. For example, on Windows machines, the Python extractor
39-
will expect to find `py.exe` on the system `PATH` by default.
40-
Setting this extractor option or environment variable allows
41-
overriding this behavior to look for a different name.
42-
43-
More detail can be found in [the extractor option documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/codeql-cli/using-the-advanced-functionality-of-the-codeql-cli/extractor-options).
31+
- A new extractor option has been added to the Python extractor:
32+
`python_executable_name`. You can use this option to override the default
33+
process the extractor uses to find and select a Python executable. Pass one of
34+
`--extractor-option python_executable_name=py` or `--extractor-option
35+
python_executable_name=python` or `--extractor-option
36+
python_executable_name=python3` to commands that run the extractor, for
37+
example: `codeql database create`.
38+
39+
On Windows machines, the Python extractor will expect to find `py.exe` on the
40+
system `PATH` by default. If the Python executable has a different name, you
41+
can set the new extractor option to override this value and look for
42+
`python.exe` or `python3.exe`.
43+
44+
For more information about using the extractor option with the CodeQL CLI, see
45+
[Extractor
46+
options](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/codeql-cli/using-the-advanced-functionality-of-the-codeql-cli/extractor-options).
