Python 2.5, 2.6, 3.0, etc. are not fully compatible programming languages. And we cannot expect that there will ever be the one and only ultimate version of Python (hopefully). Many of us need to have more than one of them installed simultaneously. Upon opening a Python file, the right version needs to be started. For those of us who use IDLE, we wish the right version to be started with “Edit with IDLE”.
Therefore, we need a clean – pythonic – solution to this problem.
I am probably not qualified to determine the best such solution. My main concern is that the community takes the issue seriously.
Nevertheless, it seems to me that different file name extensions (.py25, .py26, .py30) would be a good candidate to solve the issue. On Windows, I set up the appropriate file type associations. It worked quite well, except that IDLE doesn't seem to recognize files with extensions other than .py.
