"Py" is a directory.
Once you've added the Python executable's directory to the path, you
can start the http.server module as a script by running the following:
python -m http.server
Don't use "pythonw" in this case. The latter is associated with the
.pyw file extension, used for scripts that run without a console. For
example, IDLE is a GUI app that uses Tk widgets, so it doesn't need a
console. That's why it runs with "pythonw.exe".
