I rarely use Windows, but do support them, so this sounds good to me.

But one confusion:

    With py.exe no need to mess with the PATH.


How does py.exe get on the PATH?

py.exe goes into the Windows folder, which is on the PATH.

Now that the need for python 2 and 3 on the same machine is greatly reduced -- is it so bad to put python.exe on the PATH?

All of them? I have multiple versions installed. py.exe lets me specify which one explicitly or just leave it to the shebang line. Much neater!

Also, if order to get python top level scripts to work, there needs to be a PATH entry for that, too.

I get what py.exe is about, but maybe it's a lost cause.
