I consider it Éric's decision.
3.3 on Windows comes with the new py launcher. That might be incorporated into
the docs if it has not. That might also be a separate issue.

I consider documentation for the py launched a distinct issue. The original
complaint here was fixed, the part about packaging does not apply anymore, so I
will close this. If one of the changed instructions still does not work (e.g.
“setup.py build” does not

On my fresh install, double clicking *does* run the file as it should, but the

Windows file associations are so disfunctional that you should not
depend on them being anything in particular.
Ah. Do you think I should revert the change I did for distutils docs to
recommend running “setup.py spam”? I followed the opinion

Script run without extensions when run with an explicit python
command.
Like “python.exe setup” when the file really is setup.py? I’d
never have guessed that.
No. Python.exe expects the full path. The only way to execute scripts
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:
I believe I meant that 'python setup' works when the script is named 'setup'.
Which is to say, python does not require scripts to have an extension, as
someone had thought in writing a patch.

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:
I do not know why the msi installer *silently* fails to properly register
extensions even when I leave that checked, or how common that it. I have never
looked into the issue more because for development, I prefer to run from an
IDLE window
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
On Windows, scripts run with whatever name -- no extension or other
extensions.
Thanks, this means that the docs can continue to say just “pysetup3”, without
“.py”.
(I wonder how Windows manages to run the script without file extension!)

Chris Lambacher ch...@kateandchris.net added the comment:
I don't think that is the default state. You need to add .py to the PATHEXT
environment variable:

Maybe Terry did this at some point? My windows box certainly does not
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:
I perhaps misunderstood your question. I ran files from the command line as as
'python whatever', not 'whatever' so only python would care about an extension.
I do not have a file association to 'run' a file, with or without .py. I
presume
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
The original bug is that the distutils docs use commands like “python setup.py
spam” all over the place, and they don’t typically work
because the python executable is not in the path in the default
install. 'setup.py install' will work since
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:
I went back and reread from the beginning, instead of merely answering the
question you asked when adding me as nosy. More comments:

them being anything in
Chris Lambacher ch...@kateandchris.net added the comment:
Now my concern is about packaging: In a typical Windows install, can people
run “pysetup3 spam”?
The windows installer does not make any additions to the path so it is unlikely
that pysetup3 spam will work.
There is
Chris Lambacher ch...@kateandchris.net added the comment:
I am not sure of the difference between 'local script' and 'global command'
local script is the setup.py (or for that matter any other script in an
arbitrary place in the filesystem. Global command is referring to something
installed
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
In distutils docs, I’ve mentioned “setup.py thing” as an alternative to “python
setup.py thing” on Windows. For packaging, the situation is different: there
is no local script anymore, people will have to invoke the global pysetup
command.
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

I have tested this from both IDLE and command line.

This is now fixed in the distutils Installing and Distributing guides. Does

My personal taste is that there is virtue in having such simple examples
uncluttered by OS-specific variations, but since MvL does not want the python
executable to be on the PATH per default, I defer to him and accept your
solution. I’ll make
