However, always having the latest version on PATH is not an option either, since e.g. I wouldn't want all .py scripts to be run by Python 3.0 just because I installed it for testing purposes.

Keep in mind that the normal installation process on unix does make "python" refer to the most recently installed version, at least for 2.x, and it's not considered a problem there.

In the case of 3.0, didn't we decide not to do that?
