On my Windows machine, I make a copy python.exe and rename it as
python25.exe, python26.exe, python3.exe, etc in their respective
directories. Then after setting up the PATH environment variable, you
can simply call python25, python3, etc from any directory in the command
prompt.

Tips: On Vista and above, you can Shift-Right-Click to show "Open
Command Window Here" in the context menu. On XP, you can install the
PowerToys
