How about abusing the existing flags for this purpose - eg:

% py -3? % py -2.7? I would have expected that to launch an interactive python shell of the appropriate version. Does it do something else today?

That is what it does today without the trailing '?' character. My idea was to allow the trailing '?' to behave like the proposed --which.
