As a simpler alternative, I suggest the launcher just gain a "--which"
long option that displays the full path to the interpreter it found.
So:
C:\> py -2 --which
C:\Python27\python.exe

C:\Python32\python.exe
No significant complexity in the launcher, and if you want to add
additional arguments like -m, -c, or -i you can do it by running
'--which' and switching to invoking that interpreter directly.
Perhaps even simpler would be for the -h option to print the interpreter paths
which would be returned for -2 and -3, on separate lines, even without the
--which, e.g.
Currently configured:
-2: c:\Python27\python.exe
-3: c:\Python32\python.exe
--which is nice for people who can use Unix-style $() or Powershell&
to directly execute the output as a command.
& (py -3 --which)
How about abusing the existing flags for this purpose - eg:
% py -3?
% py -2.7?
etc.
