Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: That sentence however does not refer to the name of the installed Python binary, but the binary as it is built in the source tree (or a build directory). And there we chose to call it "python.exe" because we couldn't call it "python" because there is already a directory named "Python", which (on the default case-insensitive filesystem) conflicts with the executable name.
