This user expects .py to be executed as an executable script, and
thinks that is the default after an installation of Python on
Windows. Windows has a separate option, Edit, to use to edit
things.<br>
<br>
But, I'm glad to see you write the PEP. I have an even thinner
method of doing this, using .py extensions, that I've been using for
several years now with Python 3, and wondered why it wasn't more
popular.<br>
<br>
My equivalent of pyzaa, though, only performs the pack operation,
and requires a bit of cooperation from the application (as a
convenient way of storing the application-specific parameters, I
build the invocation of pyzaa-equivalent into the application itself
using a non-documented command-line option, and build to a different
directory, to avoid overwriting application.py).<br>
<br>
Feel free to incorporate all or parts of that idea if it makes sense
to you and sounds convenient.<br>
