Basically, if you don't start PyAIMt from the script that uses exec -
a to "call it" PyAIMt in the process list, it restarts with it's
official name as PyAIMt. This is basically so you can tell what
process is why. Now.. as for why it's not working under windows...
it's beyond me. I had someone print out the string exe before that
call and it did indeed contain the string python.
So..... yeah. Why it's not finding it in there is beyond me. =/

Do all versions of windows contain "nt" in the os string? (whether
they are windows nt or not) I'd be happy to put this in as a stopgap
measure until I fix it for real.
