The installer still leaves PATH alone by default, doesn't it?

Correct. However, people frequently set the path "by hand", so they would probably appreciate a python3 binary (and pythonw3? python3w?). Of course, those people could also manually copy/rename the executable.

Although I guess choosing a file association for .py files becomes rather more interesting...

Indeed. We could register a py3 extension (and py3w? pyw3?), but then .py might remain associated with python3, even though people want it associated with python 2.
