Personally I doubt it would make much difference. If the docs say "pygmentize" I'm unlikely to dig around to find that the incantation "python -m pygments.somemodule:main" does the same thing using 3 times as many characters. I'd just add Python to my PATH and say stuff it.
There is value in getting the incantation down to a single (preferably short) line, because then it can be used as a shortcut. That means it can be created as a shortcut at installation time, and that someone writing their own batch file can just cut and paste from the shortcut properties' target. Not as simple as just adding to the path, but simpler than adding several directories to the path, or modifying other environment variables, or fighting an existing but conflicting python installation already on the path. -jJ -- If there are still threading problems with my replies, please email me with details, so that I can try to resolve them. -jJ
