Alternatively, you just set up a file association (which has
probably already been done for you by the installer) and type in
the filename at the command line:

C:\MyProject> main.py

Wow, I just have a right-click context menu handler for
directories to open a command prompt "right here", and don't
require setup beyond what gets executed in the app.  :)

Ugh, seperate tests that must be run by a person?  Prefer one
test "app" that runs all tests.

I just type "test.py" at the command prompt.  :)  Usually, I can
abbreviate this to one or two presses of the up-arrow key.

PythonWin?  Debuggers?  Craziness.  I haven't opened a debugger
for Python in over a month, and the last time I used one was
because I was too lazy to write proper test coverage.  ;)

-tom!
