In the "py.ini" file it is possible to specifiy customized commands (see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/#customized-commands).

Unfortunately it is not possible to specify custom commands beginning with  one of the buildin names (i.e. "python" or "/usr/bin/python"). 

This means that if I want to provide a virtual command like "python-xyz" I get an error message "Invalid version specification: '-xyz'" instead of running the executable assigned to python-xyz.

I would provide a Pullrequest if you accept this change in behaviour.
