[python-win32] Can pylauncher run pip or easy_install for different versions of Python?

[Randy Syring]

Looks like it could, but you would have to give it the version you 
wanted and then pass in the path to the pip or easy_install script.

But, maybe its not needed.  On my system, the .exe files are installed 
with and without the version numbers.  So, I have:

    Directory of c:\Python26\Scripts

    02/11/2011  04:07 PM <DIR>          .
    02/11/2011  04:07 PM <DIR>          ..
    <snip>
    10/20/2009  06:08 AM               286 easy_install-2.6-script.py
    11/22/2010  03:04 PM               355 easy_install-2.6-script.pyc
    11/22/2010  03:04 PM               355 easy_install-2.6-script.pyo
    10/20/2009  06:08 AM             7,168 easy_install-2.6.exe
    10/20/2009  06:08 AM               515 easy_install-2.6.exe.manifest
    10/20/2009  06:08 AM               278 easy_install-script.py
    11/22/2010  03:04 PM               347 easy_install-script.pyc
    11/22/2010  03:04 PM               347 easy_install-script.pyo
    10/20/2009  06:08 AM             7,168 easy_install.exe
    10/20/2009  06:08 AM               511 easy_install.exe.manifest
    <snip>
    12/06/2010  03:54 PM               265 pip-2.6-script.py
    12/06/2010  03:54 PM             7,168 pip-2.6.exe
    12/06/2010  03:54 PM               522 pip-2.6.exe.manifest
    12/06/2010  03:54 PM               257 pip-script.py
    12/06/2010  03:54 PM             7,168 pip.exe
    12/06/2010  03:54 PM               518 pip.exe.manifest

And similar for my 2.7 install.  So, the following commands should work 
for installing for specific versions of python if the Scripts 
directories are all on your PATH:

easy_install-2.6
easy_install-2.7
pip-2.6
pip-2.7

If that isn't sufficient, maybe you can tell us more about what you are 
trying to do.  The pylauncher docs seemed pretty thorough, is there 
something specific you don't understand?
