The Python launcher in Windows is a neat tool for running multiple

options the ability to specify the latest version of either Python 2 or

32-bit or 64-bit version of Python 2 or Python 3. What is missing is the
ability to specify the latest 32-bit version of Python 2 or Python 3.
The equivalent syntax would be '-2-32' or '-3-32'. Is there some reason
why this option has been disallowed ?
As far as I can remember, it's not so much a question of "disallowed" as
just "not thought of by anyone". If you wanted this to go anywhere,
could I suggest you create an issue on the Python issue tracker:
http://bugs.python.org
and mark it as "Windows" in the [Components] field (that makes sure that
some relevant people get to see it). It's got a much better chance of
achieving traction if you can actually provide a code patch to implement
the behaviour. Failing that, at least make a good case which might
convince one of the developers that it would it be worth their while
implementing the change.
I have tried to register with the link above so I can an issue with the
Python Issue tracker but all attempts fail with:
"Failed issue tracker submission
An unexpected error occurred during the processing
of your message. The tracker administrator is being
notified."
Hmmm. Thanks for making the effort -- and for reporting back. I've just
successfully registered a (dummy) account there, so it's possible that
there was a temporary glitch.
If you wouldn't mind trying once more, that would be helpful. If not, I
can create the issue on your behalf, and inform the tracker admins.
Thanks
