It's not py's job to walk the path: the shell does that when you just type

Certainly when the launcher is invoked via an association, this would be
the case. However, when the launcher is invoked via the command line,
then the unqualified name is passed through. To be useful from the
command line, the launcher should walk the PATH to find the .py file.
I would say that would be a cool enhancement, as it could save a bit of
typing, but I think the launcher is quite useful even without path
traversal.
