The windows installer does not make any additions to the path so it is unlikely that "pysetup3 spam" will work.

There is http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/ which addresses running scripts in a multi-version windows environment but I don't think that will help in this case. 

If you are running more than 1 version of windows there is simple statement that tells you how to install and have the install go to the right interpreter. You are almost best to have a shortcut that gives you a command prompt with the PATH variable correctly set to the desired python instance. That does not help the 2.x crowd or anyone before 3.3 :/
