	And just to provide the dark side... On Windows one needs suitable
FTYPE and ASSOC assignments -- eg:

C:\Users\Wulfraed>assoc .py
.py=Python.File

C:\Users\Wulfraed>ftype python.file
python.file="C:\WINDOWS\py.exe" "%L" %*

C:\Users\Wulfraed>py
Python ActivePython 3.8.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
 on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

	Going further, if one doesn't want to provide the .py suffix and just
use "module-run", one needs to add it to the PATHEXT variable (hmm, I need
to clean mine up -- looks like updating Visual Studio added some...)

C:\Users\Wulfraed>set pathext
PATHEXT=.PY;.PY3;.PYC;.PYO;.PYW;.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.py;.pyw;.rexx;.rex;.rx

C:\Users\Wulfraed>
