OTOH, other things are available, such as registered extensions. For example, you don't need python on PATH to start a Python script; just invoking the .py file will find the Python interpreter from the registry. But then you don't get to pass arguments to the program, get to see the output before the window disappears, etc. I believe you are confusing the command-line PATHEXT mechanism with the Explorer/registry execution mechanism:

C:\Users\sholden\Documents\dyjr>python 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\sholden\Documents\dyjr>manage.py Type 'manage.py help' for usage.
