The launcher implements shebang support for directly running Python scripts in multiple versions and virtual environments, including virtual commands (defined in py.ini) to support other implementations such as PyPy. It can also be used to administer multiple CPython installations from the command line. If you don't need it, don't install it. You can install it later if you change your mind. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
