Those require: python BogusFile.py. I too was expecting users to
type: python my_Script.py!
On Windows, you should use the py.exe launcher:
py -2 python2_script.py
to run an old script, and
py -3 python3_script.py
or
py python3_script.py
to launch a new script. AKAIK, the launcher is always installed with
recent versions of Python on Windows.
You could set up the PATH such that 'python' is python 2.7, and 'py'
calls python 3.x. Have a look at the docs to figure about what other
options py.exe gives you (such as shebang lines)
