In the manual it says that the following .ini file will cause the launcher to run Python3.1 for calls of `py` or `py -3` [defaults] python=3 python3=3.1 On my Windows 7 machine I have Python2.7-32, Python3.4-64, and Python3.7-64 (installed in that order). Setting the ini to: [defaults] python=3 python3=3.4 results in `py` running 3.7-64 (expected 3.4-64) and `py -3` running 3.4-64. Setting both to point to 3.4 in the ini will run 3.4-64 for both commands.

On my Windows 7 machine I have Python2.7-32, Python3.4-64, and Python3.7-64 (installed in that order).

Setting the ini to:

[defaults]
python=3
python3=3.4
