Paul Moore was +1 on Windows being included. Mark did accept that some of the changes were "desirable", but was also concerned they didn't address all the issues on Windows. I *would* like to see all the issues addressed but I think that is outside the scope of this PEP.
I simply think Windows is outside the scope of this PEP - the title is "The "python" command on Unix-Like Systems" - IMO it should be kept short and focus on exactly what the title says.
...
A generic Python launcher that could be used for the file association and honours the Unix style shebang line, delegating to the appropriate version of python, is an interesting idea but out of the scope of this PEP.
As above - I think Windows should be kept out of scope.
It would be interesting to see if Mark, or others, are strongly opposed to these ideas or have strong preferences. If the biggest downside is really that it still leaves some issues unresolved then lets do this and tackle the other issues separately.
As mentioned in my other email, I'm -0 as I think they are slightly misguided. Why not leave the PEP with "Unix-like" in the title to Unix-like systems and create one with Windows in the title for Windows? :)
