If you use the ActiveState version (not sure about the python.org
version) this should work out-of-the-box. Just type the name of the
script, you can even leave out the .py extension. Someone else will
probably tell you how it works, I just know it's got something to do
with registering the .py extension as an executable extension in the
registry...
