Hi,

As you may already know, ActivePython provides versioned Python executables 
that makes it possible to invoke a particular X.Y version from the command line 
directly if you have multiple Python versions on PATH. Eg:

   C:\Python27\python26.exe
   C:\Python27\python27.exe
   C:\Python31\python31.exe

In the upcoming releases, we are considering to change this format to match the 
unix executables (with a 'dot' in it). Eg:

   C:\Python27\python2.6.exe
   C:\Python27\python2.7.exe
   C:\Python31\python3.1.exe

The idea is to be able to invoke "python2.7 myscript.py" on both Unix and 
Windows.

Thoughts?

Because there is bin/python3 on unix (to separate it from the default 2.x 
interpreter) - it is perhaps a good idea to have "C:\Python31\python3.exe" as 
well.
