You might learn about this if you happen to read and remember the right 
part of the Python docs.  Otherwise you have no idea what py.exe is up 
to nor how it does it.  I would say that most people don't know there's 
an ini file, let alone what it can do.  Of course this situation isn't 
unique to py.exe!
