The default for x.y is latest 3.x or latest 2.x if no 3.x.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't that create an empty command prompt
window nobody wants to see? (which you can get rid of by calling
START /B on a win32 application like pythonw.exe. Is there a pyw.exe or
something?
Yes, thanks for the reminder. Unless the console is needed (as when
user code creates subprocesses that print) 'pyw' can be used instead of
'py'.
When using CommandPrompt, 'pyw -m idlelib' detaches the process from the
console, which might or might not be a good thing.
