p is for the average Python developer who just needs to work with a different version of Python. Suppose one wants to start using the latest development release of Python; they just run `p latest` and p will take care of the rest.
`p` is a wrapper that handles and manages everything for you, simplifying the process for those who aren't familiar with tox or virtualenvwrapper. :)
Came here to ask the same question. Under archlinux python 3 is the default, which breaks scripts who don't specify that their are python 2 only and start with #!/usr/bin/python and not #!/usr/bin/python2. But even there as user I don't see the need for this tool.
