OK then. I don't have a *strong* opinion against it, just thought that most
people have one version of Python, maybe 2 versions as in 2.x and 3.x, so I
would understand python2.exe, python3.exe but yeah, it's not that big of a
deal either way.
Thank you,
Vlad

Two questions:
1. What level of support is there for PEP 397? If it's unlikely to get
accepted, there's little point in basing a solution on it.
It only needs support from our Windows users or developers.
It is doubtful

FWIW, +1 from me as well, but keep in mind that I actively avoid
