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.
The scripts simply need to start with a shebang line that specifies the
Python version. Then it's just:
py python2_script.py
py python3_script.py
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)
