You can prove that py.ini is ignored by using PYLAUNCH_DEBUG but I think its
that you
do not have the config in the py.ini that does what you want.
As an example is here is the output I see:
C:\Users\barry>set PYLAUNCH_DEBUG=1
C:\Users\barry>py.exe -3
launcher build: 32bit
launcher executable: Console
Using local configuration file 'C:\Users\barry\AppData\Local\py.ini'
File 'C:\WINDOWS\py.ini' non-existent
Called with command line: -3
