Description
Hi,
I just want to say that I am a relative beginner, so hopefully my question makes sense. :)
Using the profiles feature, I am trying to set commands for running in Python 2.7 or 3.6, based on the project/file. The newest versions of Python use the command 'py', and to use version 2, the command used is 'py -2.x' See [here](https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#python-launcher-for-windows).
However, Script doesn't recognize 'py -2' or 'py -2.7' etc. as valid commands. I am getting errors such as `C:\Python27\python.exe: can't open file '2 -u C:\Users\shoni\Desktop\test.py': [Errno 22] Invalid argument`
The command 'py' uses the latest version on my computer (3.6.3), as it should, and 'python' does the same thing (even though on the command line 'python' yields 2.7)
How can we add a profile for using older versions?
Thanks.
