The above raises an interesting question - if the launcher executed
Python in-process, what would sys.executable be?

I think it should be the actual Python executing at that
moment, not the launcher. This is the least change from
current behaviour and therefore least likely to break
existing code.

I remain -1 on any proposal that uses subprocesses. It absolutely must
be the launcher that is running Python. In fact, I'd call it
"python.exe".

For clarity, could you please tell us which scenarios you have in mind that cause you to take that position, and why those scenarios couldn't ignore the existence of the launcher and stick with doing exactly what they do now (which presumably is to use python.exe directly)?

Thanks,

Mark
