At the moment py -S test.py would mean that test.py would not be
scanned for a shebang, and would be executed with the latest python.
The change that I am suggesting would mean that it would be scanned
for a shebang to select the python, and then that python would be
called with -S.

Do you think it would be necessary to have -S disable reading of the
.ini files (in the users application data dir and in \windows)?
