Thanks for your reply, Tim. Regarding your earlier question about me not
using cmd when doing "./myFile.py", that was true - I was using PowerShell.
And I learned something about your explanation regarding PATHEXT. Turns out
I won't  need that in the forseeable future, as all I want to do is execute
.py files in the CURRENT directory, WITHOUT taking away the ".py" extension.
I guess that has something to say about trying random solutions one sees
online without actually finding out what they do =^D
