Yes, from command line.

For example:

E:\PySide_dev\pyside-qt4.5+0.2>"E:/Program Files/pythonxy/python/python.exe"
-c
"from sys import *; print
'version=%d.%d\nplateform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefixe=
%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0], version_info[1], platform, prefix,
exec_p
refix, executable)"
version=2.5
plateform=win32
prefix=E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python
exec_prefixe=E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python
executable=E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python\python.exe

However, notice that :

E:\PySide_dev\pyside-qt4.5+0.2>DIR /-C /A:S "E:/Program
Files/pythonxy/python/python.exe"
 Volume in drive E is DATA
 Volume Serial Number is E27E-E56C

 Directory of E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python

File Not Found

This path contains spaces, which is most likely the problem here.

I tried with

using python : : "E:/Program Files/pythonxy" ;

and then with

using python : : "E:/Program Files/pythonxy/python/python.exe" ;

without any difference. I got as output
