Comparing to unix-like systems, MS Windows works strangely in terms of executing programs (and scripts). Additionally, MS Windows don't have package manager and packagers which would take care of incompatibilities between applications. Moreover, most of the MS Windows applications behaves in the way that they are the best and the only application on the system, so they just associate every possible file with their programs (and interpreters).
I'm always for pure, correct and clean solutions. However, I'm not expert neither in MS Windows registry nor in Python virtual environments nor in covering .py to .exe and nobody provided other implementation, so I provided mine which is messy but it only reflects mess which I---maybe just because of my lack of knowledge---see on that system. I don't vote for my change to be permanent if we find a different solution. But the fact is that scripts are not working now (for large number of people) and this is the only solution we have. Like with democracy which not perfect but it is the best political system available.
