Unfortunately, yes. Windows has nothing like the "x" permission bit, so you have to have an actual extension on the filename and Windows (XP anyway) will check it against the list of extensions in the PATHEXT environment variable to determine if it should be treated like an executable.

Otherwise you must type "python" and the full filename.
