Keith, I don't think we are naming a compiler, but naming an interpreter.
I am a long time Python (CPython) and Jython user and during development. I never use an Ide other then Xemacs and in the shell window I use the interpreter as a matter of productivity. So, given this background information, I am sure that you can see that you are talking about 'Apples' and I am talking about 'Oranges'. Since your usage pattern is an IDE and a Makefile, then your alias solution is fine, but since I will consistantly be firing up a shell window and typing the name of the interpreter, I want 'python.net' since I am used to typing 'python' and 'jython'.
