My autoreloader-sense was tingling! I wonder if this has always been the
case - the previous implementation was pretty much the same, but I see
that Werkzeug has a partial workaround in their reloader:
https://github.com/pallets/werkzeug/blob/fc999a6262c847ad185ea3ffe0cc6f2e915a867a/src/werkzeug/_reloader.py#L69-L93
I think we can take inspiration (read: shamelessly copy parts) their
implementation as it seems to make sense, but I'd be interested to know
why they don't handle `-script.py` companions.
Lets be a bit generic here rather than hard-code anything to do with
`django-admin.py`. If `sys.argv[0]` doesn't exist we check if `-script.py`
exists, falling back to looking for `.exe` on Windows only. If we cannot
find it we explode with a reasonable error message (what that is I cannot
say!).
I'll work on a patch, and i would appreciate it if someone on Windows
could test it? :D
