As far as I'm concerned, anything which looks intuitive enough (e.g. ini-style) and not overly complicated is fine. The details of the syntax aren't really important as long as they make sense, and don't get in the way.

One small comment before all this goes back to the distutils list: the abbreviation "py" shouldn't be used to refer to the Python interpreter as it is somewhat ambiguous due to the existence of the independent "py" package [1]. The longer "python_version" has a genuine advantage in clarity here.

Cheers, Nick.
