Ideally, as much as possible should be taken care of by the installer.

If there's no Python installed, the installer can install it. If
Python is installed and the version is compatible, the installer can
install any required packages. Otherwise, it can at least inform the
user of the situation and enumerate the options.

The one thing it can't reasonably do is to replace any existing
association for the .py extension. So if the .py extension is already
associated with an incompatible version, the user will have to be
involved.
