I believe it allows you to type progname.py at the command line, and have LilyPond's python run the script.

This seems, if anything, weirder than my last message. It's clearly a Windows problem ... I'm just hoping a LilyPonder will be able to explain the function of the LilyPond python registry key. Thanks again!

There seem to have been problems regarding the registry in the past, but not exactly like the one I've encountered ... does anyone have handy info on how to convince Windows to let LilyPond run its own python while everything else runs my python?
