The Python Launcher for Windows is installed by default with Python
3.3+.  It should be on your PATH, and is called 'py.exe'.  It will
launch any Python it can find in the registry, including Python 2.7.
To use it to install something to the global Python 2.7 site-packages,
do `py -2.7 -m pip install <package>`.

Hope this helps,
