I'm wondering what thoughts are on PEP 397, the Python launcher for Windows.  I've been using the implementation for a number of months now and I find it incredibly useful.

To my mind, the specific steps would be: * Arrange for it to be installed with the next release of 3.2 and all future versions - I'm happy to try and help with that, but will probably need some help from Martin.

I've been doing some installer work lately and would be willing to help out if I can.

Thoughts or comments?

Will you be at PyCon, specifically at the language summit? I proposed a side-track to discuss this PEP, and I say side-track since a great majority of the group are not Windows users, so I don't think it's a topic to bring before the entire group.
