However, if it's installed as the exe associated with the .py

*will* work, and will work better than it does now.

So long as '.py' and '.pyw' are set in the PATHEXT environment variable. (Which again the Python installer doesn't do by default.)

No, PATHEXT only means you can invoke

foo.py

and

foo

and get the same results (sometimes, depending on what all in on PATH and PATHEXT)
