Seeing python32.exe inside C:\Python32 shouldn't be a huge surprise, and ActiveState has been doing something like this for years (forever?). Versioned executables in addition to the standard python.exe is something I've wanted for a while, but that's outside of this PEP. This way you could have C:\Python27 and C:\Python32 on your path and explicitly open up the right one.
