Perhaps this is a silly question but still...There is PEP 394 "The "python" Command on Unix-Like Systems" which I find very reasonable, no matter how it is respected. Why was not _somewhat_ the same done for Windows?
Sometimes I use, especially in IPython, to run externally: ! python3 -m dis <module> ! python3 -m timeit ... ! python3 -m pip install ... And to make this work the same under Windows, the first step which I do after installation is to copy `python.exe` and rename it to `python3.exe` (for python 2.7 copy `python.exe` and rename it to `python2.exe`). May be there is a better way to do this under Windows, I would like to know? This copy-rename works for me, but it will not work for someone who does not have administrative rights. p.s.: I know there is a `py` launcher under Windows, but is does not help in this situation.
