Nice - I like the ability to have multiple interpreters side-by-side
with different pythonv configurations.

Is ".cfg" generally preferred to ".conf" for some good reason? I don't
personally care too much; the former is shorter but the latter looks
less ugly to me ;-)

And I kind of dislike the inconsistency in extension; would
"clean.pythonv.cfg" be acceptable?

To simplify documentation and allow more flexibility, I might just check
for all four: first the executable-specific one in both directories,
then the general one in both directories.
