I appreciate that what I want to do is counter to what would be considered good practice. What you've posted is entirely reasonable, but at the same time it is not what I am asking for. I do not want my users to have to explicitly point my script at the appropriate version of Python when it is perfectly possible to detect the appropriate version of Python in all situations I care about.
