The Python Launcher

Implements the `py` command for Unix, launching the right Python interpreter automatically.

Desktopfreeglobal

A Unix implementation of the py command that selects and runs the appropriate installed Python interpreter and can initialize a .venv using the latest available Python so subsequent py calls use that environment without manual activation. It addresses the need to avoid tracking python3.x binaries and virtual environments by hand and is aimed at Python developers on Linux or macOS who manage multiple Python versions or want behavior similar to the Windows launcher.
