CLA Now showing on profile.
Minor change to help message, (Defaults to matching 64 bit installation), 
pushed to hopefully auto-update the CLA flag.

[issue30291] Allow windows launcher to specify bit lengths with & without minor version

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

With a few more minutes thought, being able to nicely support PEP 514 here 
might be too much for this poor launcher to handle, so it may just be best to 
do that as a separate tool. (In particular, the matching rules would have to 
change from "enter a Python version" to "enter some convenient search pattern 
as a command line option", and that's a non-trivial change.)

Given that, I'm in favour of this change. When Eryk says the code is good (and 
the CLA notice comes through), I'll merge it.

[issue30291] Allow windows launcher to specify bit lengths with & without minor version

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

The actual change I want here is to support Company/Tag pairs as defined in PEP 
514. There is no suffix on 64-bit CPython tags, so interpreting "-64" is going 
outside the PEP.

I'd also be okay with a strict mode that requires -32 for 32-bit interpreters, 
rather than assuming the language version is close enough. Perhaps a "-only" 
flag or suffix?

[issue30291] Allow windows launcher to specify bit lengths with & without minor version

[Steve Barnes]

Steve Barnes added the comment:

I believe that I have a fix in pull request #1488 for the following points, and 
have manually tested for them:

 - py Still defaults to highest py3 with 64 bits as the default
 - py -2/3.n-32 Still works or reports not present as appropriate
 - py -2/3.n-64 Works or reports not present as appropriate
 - py -2/3 Still defaults to highest then 64 bit if present
 - py -2/3-32/64 Gives highest python 2/3 or reports not present
 - py -2/3.nn Should now work if/when there is such a version present, (any 
number of digits as far as the validation goes), or reports no such python.
 - py -4, etc., Ditto
 - py n.m-anything other than 32 or 64 - no change of behaviour.

CLA - Signed and submitted but not a working day yet. All automatic checks 
passed. Will add another push to update to the help message.

[issue30291] Allow windows launcher to specify bit lengths with & without minor version

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

I don't see a pressing need to support a -64 architecture suffix. If you run 
3.6 and get a 32-bit version, you can assume there's no 64-bit version 
installed and error out if you need 64-bit. That said, supporting this suffix 
would make the interface and error handling more consistent.

I also noticed the problem with double-digit minor versions, but that's years 
away. It would be an obvious problem resolved early in 3.10 development, 
assuming 3.10 even uses the py launcher as it exists today. I'd just kick the 
can on that one. Maybe add a comment noting the potential problem.

[issue30291] Allow windows launcher to specify bit lengths with & without minor version

[Steve Barnes]

Steve Barnes added the comment:

Also noted when looking at the code that the validate function, 
(validate_version), has a couple of issues:

 - It will allow python major versions 0-9 (at the moment only 2 or 3 are 
valid).
 - It will not allow minor versions with more than one digit so if/when python 
3.10 comes out it will stop working, (if there is a 3.10 rather than or as well 
as 4.0).

I am not sure if these potential issues warrant a separate ticket.

[issue30291] Allow windows launcher to specify bit lengths with & without minor version

[Steve Barnes]

New submission from Steve Barnes:

Currently you can use, assuming all are installed:

py -2 # gets the latest python 2 with 64 bit as the default
py -2.7 # gets python 2.7 with 64 bit as the default
py -2.7-32 # gets -32 bit python 2.7
py -3 # gets the latest python 3 with 64 bit as the default
py -3.5 # gets python 3.5 with 64 bit as the default
py -3.5-32 # gets -32 bit python 3.5

But you cannot use:

py -2-32 # Usage Error but would be handy for the latest 32 bit python 2
py -3-32 # Usage Error but would be handy for the latest 32 bit python 3

Note that you also cannot use:
py -3.5-64  # Unknown option: -3 would be handy for testing with I need 64 bit 
python 3.5 with an error if it doesn't exist currently -3.5 defaults to 3.5 64 
bit if available 32 bit otherwise.

For testing packages and programs it would be very useful to be able to specify 
any of:

 - Latest available 32 bit python 2 or 3
 - 64 bit python 3 fail if unavailable.
