You can run python.exe directly from Explorer -- typically from the start menu or the Win+R run dialog. The only issue is that by default the console that python.exe creates will close when the Python shell exits. If you need to keep the console output around, you can simply spawn a system shell before exiting, e.g. >>> subprocess.Popen('pwsh'); exit() -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
