It locates foo.py, and then invokes py because of file association - py then checks the file for a shebang to decide which Python to dispatch it to. > OK, with that mystery solved, and using Notepad running as > administrator to actually, successfully edit the file, it still runs > the wrong version of Python. Here is the content of the file, what I'm afraid I can't reproduce this. When I invoke a script with the default py.ini, py runs it with Python 2. When I add a [defaults]python=3 entry, py correctly runs it with Python 3. > is wrong? And why is the spacing around the = in the [commands] > section so inconsistent? That's just test data, not a real "production" py.ini. I was testing out something, which is why the spaces around = are every which way, and I never got around to changing it. More importantly, those customised commands, while perhaps useful for testing, are useless in everyday Python usage: perhaps -O, -Werror, -E, -S etc. might be more useful. I'll take suggestions as to what might be useful customised commands to ship as a default.
