The launcher could also (as per Mark's suggestion) interpret a shebang line in the script, so that scripts could specify their required version without needing a different command,or multiple version-specific extensions.
Note that, on Unix, "python file.py" doesn't choose the correct version of python to run by looking at a shebang, it just runs the version of python installed as "python". Only "./file.py" looks at the shebang (assuming that file is marked executable). Is the proposal to make python.exe do that on windows? That is a rather significant difference from the unix behavior.
