The section in the docs "Using Python on Windows" would need to be
updated, but would this have to happen for every current version of Python?
I'm not sure what docs you are referring to here?
The docs here
https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/pylauncher/src/tip/Doc/launcher.rst
are in my view possibly overkill, what do the rest of you think?
Even though I had no input into those docs, I actually think they are
fairly good and can't see what should be dropped. It may make sense to
split the docs so there is a separate "advanced" doc page. Further, I
think there is something that could be added to those docs - the use of
PATHEXT and the fact that once the shebang line is in place, a
command-prompt could do just "hello.py" rather than needing "py hello.py".
The ouput from py --help seems fine but nothing happens when pyw --help
is entered, is this by accident or design?
I guess "accident" - or more accurately, the lack of doing anything
special. It could be useful to have that display a message box with the
usage - while that would break "pyw --help > out.txt", I doubt that
really is useful for anyone. Alternatively, instead of trying to
display all the usage in "pyw --help", it could display a short message
indicating what the program is for and refer to "py.exe --help" for more
information. Possibly a plain "pyw" (with no args) could do the same
thing - nothing useful happens in that case either.
Thoughts or comments?

A cracking bit of kit :)
Thanks! Vinay's implementation is great, I agree.
Thanks,
Mark
