One small comment before all this goes back to the distutils list: the
abbreviation "py" shouldn't be used to refer to the Python interpreter
as it is somewhat ambiguous due to the existence of the independent "py"
package [1]. The longer "python_version" has a genuine advantage in
clarity here.

Cheers,
Nick.
