I used it for a bit because I was trying to disentangle test suite
failures unique to windows for a project... and had four concurrent
versions of python while doing that. but then ended up having to install
a bunch of "extra" stuff so set up virtualenvs to precisely control the
environment I was getting, and not using py any more.

I think it's a case of you use what works and that may not require
python launcher, if what you already have works fine :) (esp. for those
of us who are not necessarily normally windows users)
