Could not py.exe be extended so that it allows starting scripts in a somewhat similar way? 'py-script -2.7 myscript foo bar baz' ??? Which would execute the script myscript.exe, myscript.bat, myscript.py, myscript.cmd or whatever is in the Scripts directory on the Python 2.7 installation, without changing PATH presistently? I'm pretty sure py.exe should only start .py files, not .bat, .cmd, or .anything-else.

To make it clear: My suggestion is (or was, maybe it isn't a good idea) to have some way to start 'something' that is in the Scripts directory of a Python installation (which is usually a python script or an exe-wrapper for it), without typing in the full path. And without changing the PATH envrionment variable.
