Interesting use case, of course! At first sight, at least ;-)

But it becomes relatively awkward when virtualenv is used:
There is no textual distinction between python 2 and 3, and
the text editor would have to do more analysis to get things
right than to guess from the shebang line.

Which then makes it useless, and the editor would need to grab
the real python interpreter to find things out.
