The Python Launcher for Windows is a nice feature, but it's difficult for folks that use Linux or Mac OS X themselves to recommend it, as the "py" shorthand only works on Windows. What do folks think of the idea of introducing a "Python Launcher for *nix" using the following iterative development model: 1. We update the Python 3 *nix builds to provide a "py" symlink by default. This would be the baseline state for Python 3.6 if the next step isn't completed in time. 2. The symlink is replaced with a custom launcher that works like the Python 3.5 version of the Windows launcher: * accepts "-3", "-2", etc command line arguments like the Windows launcher * checks for an active virtualenv, if it finds one, uses the venv's default Python * checks for a user specific config file * checks for a global config file (This could potentially be achieved by making the existing launcher cross-platform, rather than having two independent launchers to maintain) Cheers, Nick. P.S. This list may not have enough subscribers yet to have a good discussion, so I'll post another thread about advertising, and then we can reboot this thread later if needed. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
