Suggestion: Use py instead of probing python.exe manually

Python for Windows usually comes with the py wrapper executable. Launching py will start the highest available version of Python, py -2 the highest available 2.x version, py -3.6 Python 3.6.x if installed and so on. This can simplify your venv creation functions.

Hi,
Thanks for you comment, but as you said : "Python comes usually with py".

On my work laptop, both Python 3.6 and Python 3.5 don't come with py executable. Both are downloaded with the default installer.
