Yes, I've noticed that this nasty launcher gets in the way. So, do you
propose to edit source files every time I need to test them with a new
version of Python? My original user story:

    I want to execute scripts in virtual environment (i.e. with Python
installed for this virtual environment) without 'python' prefix.

Here is another one. Currently Sphinx doesn't install with Python 3.2
and with Python 3.3 [1]. Normally I'd create 3 environments to
troubleshoot it and I can not modify all Sphinx files to point to the
correct interpreter to just execute 'setup.py install'.

A solution would be to teach launcher to honor PYTHON_PATH variable if
it is set (please don't confuse it with PYTHONPATH which purpose is
still unclear on Windows).
