Ok ok, I give up.  Apparently I am the only one who wants to be able to run different versions of python based on the shebang line AND add occasional arguments to the python command line.

I don't know if this is of use to anyone, but I attach a Powershell module which does more or less what you're suggesting. It exports a few functions, and an alias "pyx" (just to distinguish it from the launcher, it could be renamed "py" if you prefer) which takes an -X.Y version option similar to the launcher (and a -w option for selecting the GUI version). All the remaining arguments are passed to Python.

You can also add your own aliases - "Add-Python dev ." is a good way of adding a -dev flag to select the current development version you're working on.

Hope it's useful to someone...
