Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org added the comment: msg77014 could bring startup time down significantly so I'm -1 on that. Overall I've never found difficulty in running scripts with the right version so I don't have a strong enough opinion on any of it. I think it's probably something which

Mark Lawrence breamore...@yahoo.co.uk added the comment: Right now this would suit me down to the ground, as I'm running four maintenance versions, 2.6/7 and 3.1/2 in parallel. But as this is a feature request it will not happen until 3.2 at the earliest. -- nosy: +BreamoreBoy

Andreas Lemke mueslifl...@nexgo.de added the comment: Python 2.5, 2.6, 3.0, etc. are not fully compatible programming languages. And we cannot expect that there will ever be the one and only ultimate version of Python (hopefully). Many of us need to have more than one of them installed

Mark Tolonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: An extension to this idea: Support parsing #! lines in Windows and select the version of Python used. python.exe could examine: #!/usr/bin/python30 pattern match python##, look in the registry to see if that version of python is installed,

Glenn Linderman [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Since Python hasn't done that until now, it won't help much with the transition from 2to3. The earliest versions that could add that would be 3.1 and 2.7, it would seem, as it is a new fetaure. Perhaps it would be worth doing, in planning

Mark Tolonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I see it as primarily useful in this transition period between 2.x and 3.0, since py3 scripts aren't backward compatible and I see both being installed for the few years. It could be a front-end launcher suitable for ftype Python.File that

Glenn Linderman [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Ah yes, it could work as a front-end launcher, since # is a comment character for Python anyway, so all Pythons would ignore such a line. So that can be done completely independently of python itself, and installed separately, and used by
