> On my Windows installation of Python, the install directory isn't added
to your path but an association is made between {{{.py}}} files and the
Python executable. Hence typing {{{python}}} followed by anything won't
normally work, but running {{{foo.py}}} by typing its name should do the
right thing.
In the "old days", command-line behavior was different between 95-based
Windows and NT-based Windows; 95 wouldn't let you do "somescript.py" on
the command-line but NT would (and were this really got interesting was
piping stdin/stdout.)
I'm not sure what the default behavior after a Windows Python install is
these days, but I much prefer adding bin to my path and doing "python
somescript.py" to keep things consistent (with my other junk done on OS
X.)
