Thoughts?
I've never been a Windows developer (probably never will be), but I
have one thought:
Why has ActivePython not been doing this all along ?
Hind sight is 20/20 is all I can say. :)
When I added support for "pythonXY.exe" instead of "pythonX.Y.exe" I was
trying to add an out-of-the-box equivalent for what I saw some core
developers doing with their own batch scripts: py20.bat, py21.bat, etc.
I didn't think to provide equivalence to the Unix shortcuts. Also, this
was a looong time ago (back when python 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 were still
relevant) so it could be there there *weren't* many of the typical (now)
Linux "pythonX.Y" installed executables.
