I don't really use python on Windows so don't use this file.

However, based on some of the other responses, what happens
if you don't specify a version? ie. just type

py -c "...

And also what happens if you add an explicit python3 line as
in Barry's example:

    [defaults]
    python=3.6
    python3=3.6

As I say, pure speculation on my part. But if it helps...
