Description: pythonselect
        ============
        
        pythonselect is a tool to set the current Python version; it is included with
        `ActivePython`_. If you have multiple Python versions installed - say, 2.6, 2.7
        and 3.1 - then running the following will set Python 2.7 to be your current
        Python:
        
        ::
        
            $ sudo pysel 2.7
            or
            C:\> pysel 2.7
        
        How does it work?
        -----------------
        
        On **OSX**, pythonselect creates symlinks in ``/usr/local/bin`` (hence ``sudo``
        is required) linking to appropriate binaries in your non-system framework Python
        install at ``/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework``.
        
        On **Windows**, pythonselect manipulates the system ``%PATH%`` environment
        variable, `AppPath`_ and .py/.pyw associations. You will have to launch a new
        Command Prompt. Windows support is **experimental**. Note that on Vista and
        Windows 7, ``pysel`` must be run from an Administrator Command Window.
