-----------
Suffix Python executable on Windows like on Unix, so that people will
type pythonX.X if they want a specify version.
Pros: easy and discoverable.
Cons: you need a lot of stuff in the system path.Con: we hope to have the problem resolved on the Linux distro side such that "python" typically means "python" by the time community support for Python 2 ends in 2020. Since Windows has gone the better part of two decades without version Python commands, adding them because we're impatient with the pace of change at the Linux distro level doesn't really make sense (especially when Linux holds such a small fraction of the non-phone client device market).
