Python installations on WIndows now
* Ship the PEP397 `py` launcher which reduces the need to either having to
add `python.exe` directory to PATH or having to always aspecify its full
path. OIt also cand detect your Python's `python.exe` even when its
invoked from inside a virtualenv.
* Have a better ''"Execute manage.py or runtest.py by simply running
them"'' story when compared to previous Python versions, thanks partially
to the above mentioned launcher.
This would allow us to reduce special casing of Windows when describing
command line interactions. In particular IMHO the suggestion to use the
Git for Windows Bash shell can be dropped from the contributing tutorial
as it doesn't actually make things easier.
