in my original post, I said
I'd say that for a typical user, "A" is a marginal improvement over "B", compared to "C".
which, I thought, tried to say that for a user expecting "C", neither "A" nor "B" is good enough.
Ah, OK - that makes a lot more sense than the way I read it (it looked to me as if you expected option B to do the same thing as option A. It didn't seem likely you really believed that, but that was the only interpretation I saw at the time).
Anyway, as my other rambling message points out (eventually) - this feature is intended for developers and Python version specific utility scripts like pdb, profile and pychecker.checker, rather than launch scripts for full applications.
For end users, I agree with you wholeheartedly - applications should behave like applications, no matter what language they're written in :)
Cheers, Nick.
