Windows Linux subsystem as external Python Module Path?

Hi all,
Just starting to use Touch Designer and loving it - just trying to find the work flow that suits me best. I have recently started using the Linux subsystem on windows for other projects and was wondering if it is possible to install and use python from there? Or is it recommended to use another particular windows install method instead?

This old post was the only reference to the linux subsystem I found:

Any clarity appreciated, thanks!
