What PATHEXT lets you do is run the command without specifying a path at
all. As long as the file is in the same directory, the file association
will work. PATHEXT allows you to put Python scripts in your c:\bin
directory, for example, and then use them without specifying the path or
the extension. So, I have a Python version of "which" that I store in
my \bin directory under the name "which.py". But from a command line,
all I have to type is "which".
I'm surprised by your description. Check your file associations. From
your command line, say
assoc .py
On my machine, it says:
.py=Python.File
Then, check the ftype:
ftype Python.File
On my machine, it says:
python.file="C:\Apps\Python24\Python.exe" "%1" "%*
I see that you wrote "./<filename>.py". Was that an accident, or are
you using a shell other than "cmd"?
