1. [New comment] PEP 397 -- Python launcher for Windows
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/35064
User vernondcole has commented on the issue:
"<p>I made a clone of the git version of PLW to look this idea over. It is a
smallish C++ program and should not be too hard to patch to make
alternate-implementation friendly. The problem today is that it is CPython
specific and searches the Windows registry to determine which versions of
Python are present. Alternate implementations are supported only using entries
in the py.ini file and setting the #! line in your source code approprietly.
(Which works great. I even have mine launching perl scripts, just to proove
that it can.)</p><p>I propose adding two features to PLW.</p><p>1) extend the
first command-line switch to also pick items from the py.ini file. I would
like to type:<br> py -ipy myprogram.py<br>and have the command associated
with "ipy" in my py.ini file executed.</p><p>2) PLW should have (in
py.ini) a [default] section identifying which command in the [commands] section
should be run in the absence of a command-line switch.</p><p>Alternate
implementations should then install (or modify) py.ini to support their
interpreter.</p><p>The extended PLW version ought to be backported to the
CPython distribution, so that any implementation of Python will work. I don't
think that the CPython group would object.</p><p>Note 1: I have not compared
to make sure the stand-alone PLW is identical with the Python 3.3
version.<br>Note 2: We need to make sure that PLW will work correctly even if
no CPython versions are present.<br>Note 3: I fear that I have just
volunteered to write the patch. Is someone else out there williing? It's been
a very long time since I wrote commercial quality C code.<br>

User jdhardy has commented on the issue:
"<p>Sounds good. I remember from the original PLW discussion they want it to
work for other implementations but weren't sure what would be needed. It sounds
like you're making that list. :)</p><p>It's probably worth opening bugs on the
Python tracker describing what needs to change, since it's not IronPython
specific. If you don't feel comfortable writing the code perhaps someone over
there can, or at least review the code for you.</p>"
