I have found that the binary package from www.python.org has a very

If you run python explicitly with the script, then you can get away with
not having a .py extension. (e.g. c:\python21\python script) You may be
better off just adding the extension and associating it to python.

Win32 Python by default gets it's PYTHONPATH from the registry. Using a
PYTHONPATH environment variable will work, though.
