Two related points: 1. Walking PATH isn't necessary, but the cwd of the py process should be inherited from the shell correctly. If it is, then 'py foo.py' shouldn't need path traversal, it should just look in the current directory. Using PATHEXT to turn 'foo.py' directly into an executable command on PATH from any directory is different and out of scope for the launcher. 2. The defined launched command line handling means that "py -m foo" should also work, so long as the current directory is inherited correctly.
