Interesting, David, that you feel it that Python usability on Windows should be limited to its usability on Unix, rather than to exceed it. I don't see that as a necessary or appropriate limit. Windows and Unix

That wasn't how I intended my comment. My point was that the goal of the PEP is to make it "as usable" (and actually just in the specific case of #! lines), and that if the additional feature is desirable why not make it available on all platforms? I can see how you read what you did in what I wrote, though.
