Thanks! This is a great idea.

I'd prioritise adding support to the Store app first, as that's easier to 
manage (we're not having to modify files owned by other apps outside of our 
install directory). But no reason we couldn't extend the older installer and 
make that do it as well.

We probably want to experiment a bit with what goes into it. I think this 
should probably be a single profile that uses the default Python (whatever 
"python.exe" maps to), but it could also be a Powershell/Cmd shell that has 
PATH set (though *that* is redundant with the Store package, so perhaps better 
for the regular installer).

I *really* don't want to fill up Terminal with one (or more) profiles for each 
Python version. I'm trying to motivate other work to make it easier for users 
to have multiple installs but one consistent default, so I'd rather not 
multiplex here.
