Steve Dower added the comment:
The Win32 API function linked by eryksun is the correct way to determine
whether to include the current directory in the search - the doc specifically
refers to matching cmd.exe's behaviour (searching ".;%PATH%" vs. just "%PATH%").
The PATHEXT behaviour should be to look for the name as provided first,
followed be appending each extension. So looking for "python" will look for
["python", *("python" + p for p in getenv('PATHEXT').split(';'))] in that order.
