No - there is an version #3a: 3.a) Get a shell and run the script CD into the directory, then directly run foo.py, without prefixing it with python.exe. This doesn't require any changes to the path, and is shorter in usage than having the path specified.

Fair enough - but notice: 1) You are still in the shell, instead of running from the start menu; and 2) what if you want to import it and test a function with various inputs? You either implement a request/response in a main block, or type "python" and then import foo.
