One more data point - the launcher currently used by distlib is found at [1]. Since it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the PEP 397 launcher has (e.g. no searching for Pythons in the registry - the shebang is assumed to point at the Python to launch; no customised command handling; no configuration options; no support for passing parameters to Python itself), it is a lot simpler and has smaller executables as a result (around 64K, as opposed to 100-150K for the PEP 397 launcher). This might be an issue for some, when there would potentially be lots of copies of these executables.
