I'm not super excited to deal with this on Windows just yet, but I can't dispute the rationale. There are two traps for anybody dealing with this on Windows to be aware of: 1. Running `./hg debuginstall` will still run py2, even if it was built with py3. I assume this is the shebang line, and also an issue on other platforms. 2. Running `./hg.exe debuginstall` will run py3, but since that python isn't in $PATH, it complains that it can't find python37.dll and exits. I know @durin42 took a whack at #1; I'm not sure if there's something we can do about #2. (I realize I could just edit $PATH, but it seems that the point of py.exe is to keep python.exe off of $PATH so that multiple installs can be managed. IIRC, it's not added to $PATH by default on installation.) Maybe we can just copy the dll to the local directory as part of setup.py?
