If you write such a PEP, please also research and write up the issues with modifying PATH on Windows (they're largely scattered throughout bugs.p.o and earlier discussions on python-dev).
Is anyone proposing doing anything new with that? (other than changing the default) My preferred solution for this is to rename "py.exe" to "python.exe" I was going to propose that in this thread, but then thought: "there has GOT to be a reason why that reall obvious solution wan't done in the first place", and didn't have time to go back and research it.
