On Ubuntu, I use python, python2.7, python3.1, python3.2 and that is what I type to use that particular version. The -m option seems to me to be the easiest to do and works with all of these. python2.7 -m setup python3.2 -m setup Having pysetup or pysetupX.Y executables would be much more practical with shell auto-completion, though.

I agree. I also don't see any confusion about which python a "pysetupX.Y" would use. Or for that matter a plain "pysetup". It would be the one that a plain "python" would get you.
