3.2 instead of Python 3.1...
It doesn't seem to be too confusing for Linux / Mac OS X users where you
have both. What's more it's very useful. I still like being able to
specify version from the launcher, it's probably what I will use it most
for (on the rare occasions I still use Windows).

If I understand correctly, adding versioned filenames like
python3.3.exe
would happen in addition of python.exe, not in replacement.
