http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/ Unix-based OSes should already obey the shebang line, and on Windows, there's py.exe in 3.3 that will launch the intended version based on that shebang line. While I was using the alpha/beta versions of 3.3, I had no problems invoking either 3.2 or 3.3 with the shebang line on Windows. -- CPython 3.3.0 | Windows NT 6.1.7601.17835 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
