What would be good is if the launcher had an additional flag telling it to not actually start python, but just report the path to it, something like:
$ py --dry-run my_script

Ooh that would be a nice feature. I'd be inclined to call it --query rather than --dry-run, but that's just bike-shedding. Any other programs could make use of this feature too - maybe they want to run a wrapper that ultimately invokes some script, so the wrapper gets written to be 2.7 and 3.3+ compatible, and then design it to be run using the target script's interpreter.
Right, that was what I was thinking of, too.
