Windows Scripting Host Python Engine not registered/installed??

[Werner Schiendl]

Hi,

Open the file
win32comext\axscript\demos\client\ie\demo.htm

with Internet Explorer, it offers a link to the regitration script
win32comext\axscript\client\pyscript.py

You can just start the script right away, but the above page immediately
tells you whether Python Active Scripting works.

After that procedure, .pys files should run directly in WSH using Python
language (like .vbs runs VB script).
