+1 > As for module file name extensions, what speaks against allowing (not > mandating) "py3" for Python 3.x modules? File extensions are only important on Windows. Or does anybody know a system which starts scripts based on the extension like Windows does? I see two ways to solve the program for Windows: * register additional file extensions for each Python version like .py26, .pyw26 (for pythonw.exe), .py30 etc. * Write a wrapper for Windows which inspects the first line of a script, searches for "#! ... python2.6" or "#!python26" and starts the right interpreter.
