That's all I've ever done.

The shortcut has to be executable (not just have a file association).

You can embed the script in the bat file:
---------------------
@echo off
rem = """
python -x <full path name of this file> %1 %2 %3 
goto endofpython
rem """
<python goes here>
rem = """
:endofpython
rem """
-----------------------

I vaguely recall posts from people who used the registry to tell 
Windows that .py files *are* executable, but I don't recall how that 
works.
