New submission from Steve Piercy <w...@stevepiercy.com>:

Effective 2017-11-20, PowerShell is now the default command shell on Windows 
10, and possibly other versions.  Command Prompt (cmd.exe) is still present, 
just no longer the default.

Current instructions for installing and configuring Python on Windows reference 
only Command Prompt.  There may be other places.

https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#configuring-python

FYI, we're in the process of updating our documentation for Pyramid where we 
have both PowerShell and Command Prompt.  At some point in the future, we may 
drop the latter.

Let me know what y'all think is the best way to proceed, even if that is no 
action.
