It's equally as arguable (and would match my expectations much more closely) that "py a_file.py" should do whatever "python a_file.py" would do. So path search in that context would only be reasonable if it were a Python feature rather than a feature of the launcher. This is what the launcher currently does (so I guess it's not surprising that I'm happy with the current behaviour). I can see the benefits of path search, but I'd want it to be a Python feature (and hence inherited "for free" by the launcher) and not a launcher-only one.
