I see it as primarily useful in this transition period between 2.x and 3.0, since py3 scripts aren't backward compatible and I see both being installed for the few years. It could be a front-end launcher suitable for "ftype Python.File" that inspects the script for #! and checks the registry for installed python versions. That would make it work with older versions as well. Probably better suited to discussion on c.l.p than here, but at least recorded as an idea in this feature request.
