R. David Murray added the comment:

On the other hand, I wonder if such problem/solution pairs should go in the FAQ 
list rather than the howto, perhaps with a pointer to the howto for those 
wanting more general information.  Specifically the Python on Windows section 
in this case.

I realize that you were using it as an example to tease out the concepts needed 
to reason correctly about a problem, but I think approaching it from the point 
of view of how the user will reason about it is not optimal.  Instead, write 
the FAQ answer, and figure out what concepts you need to use to *explain* the 
problem, that you then feel the desire to further expand upon in the howto for 
those users who reach for a deeper understanding instead of just an immediate 
solution.
