I believe that Python X.Y shows up as "PythonXY" under Windows.

Then that's a bug which should be fixed, IMO. An MS Windows user (i.e.,
not me) would be well placed to describe the behaviour in a bug report.

It's Python X.Y in the start menu and Python X.Y.Z in sys.version. The
default installation directory is PythonXY (for 3.5.0 it was "Python
3.5"; this was reverted in 3.5.1), and the DLL is pythonXY.dll. The
executables are python.exe and pythonw.exe.

There's an option in Windows to hide the extension. I wondered whether that had something to do with it.

It turns out that it applies only to file names, not folder names, so you can have multiple files apparently with the same name, but folder names remain distinct.
