These could be resolved by creating a *second* file with a .bat extension 
that invokes python on the file without the extension, and passed the 
arguments, e.g.:

     @echo off
     shift
     C:\Python24\Python C:\Python24\Scripts\scriptnamehere %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 
%5 %6 %7 %8 %9

This should work on DOS and Windows 98; perhaps someone else can double 
check that it works on NT-based systems.  If so, then this is a viable 
approach for all win32 platforms.
