It seems to be a flag in the exe header. A quick google search turned up this: http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/system/misc/article.php/c2897/ Sure. However, if I do foo.py then some part of the system must determine that python.exe is to be invoked, and then must determine that this is a console binary. Does that all happen in cmd.exe?
I cannot answer this question (and I'm not the windows guru either;), but using regmon from sysinternals shows that cmd.exe does more than 500 registry accesses before python.exe is finally started - so it does a lot of work.
