I don't think we have this problem solved on Linux either, we just have a variety of workarounds in place of varying degrees of clunkiness :) The thing I find attractive about this specific proposal is that we could potentially expand it to Linux as well through appropriate use of environment modules, and I expect that would also cover other POSIX systems. So if you wanted to draft up an initial PEP with a concrete proposal covering Windows systems, I'd be happy to tackle the task of getting the same design to work on Linux (and hopefully POSIX in general) using environment modules.
