So far all tests seem to indicate that things work out fine if we install to some dummy target folder, copy the target folder to some version specific location & uninstall.
If the dummy folder had 3.3.0, you should not need to uninstall to install 3.3.1 on top of it. But it is easy and probably safest.
That leaves us with a working Python folder sans the start menu and registry items, both of which we do not need for this. Everything I've played around with so far seems to use the correct Python data depending on the interpreter executable invoked, whether or not there is a regular Windows installation somewhere on the same machine.
Just a reminder: you can run one file or set of files with multiple Pythons by putting 'project.pth' containing the same 'path-to-project' in the Lib/site-packages of each Python directory. I do this to test one file with 2.7 and 3.3 (and just added 3.4) without copying the file.
