python setup.py install    -> py.test 
python2 setup.py install   -> py.test2
python2.5 setup.py install -> py.test2.5
python2.6 setup.py install -> py.test2.6

seems to match.  Maybe i also additionally always do a "py.test" proper
so that people using the current way are not surprised.   That would mirror
how 'easy_install' is installed (it has a '-' dash in the middle though which 
i find suboptimal tab-completion-wise)

On Windows it looks slightly different at the moment because there are usually
no "pythonXYZ" differentiations but only different c:\\PythonXYZ\Python.exe files.
As there is no common "bin" dir i guess using "py.test" always there is kind of
fine?!
