The timing does suck.

My understanding was that it wasn't about a full pathname to python, it
was about searching sys.path for the darned script so us poor Windows
guys don't have to change directories a million times a day (no aliases
or shebangs for us either).

I have a big pile of batch files just to invoke timeit, texchecker,
profile, etc.  It bites the big one.

If the patch doesn't get worked out for Py2.4, I hope it doesn't get
abandoned.

No doubt.
