The new installer for 3.5 doesn't create an "App Paths" key for "python.exe" like the old installer used to do (see the old Tools/msi/msi.py). Without that, unless python.exe is in the search PATH, "Win+R -> python" and running "start python" in the command prompt won't work. You can of course add the key manually as the default value for "[HKLM|HKCU]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\python.exe". IMO, this makes it the 'system' Python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
