much nicer!  Now if only the thing could be named "py<dot>test" :-) 

Btw, i played around a bit and when i just start the plain
(unixish) 'py.test' i got a dialogue asking me for the
application i want to execute with, I chose "python" from the
menu and said yes to "always open with this application ...".
And now (after i added the 'bin' directory to the Path
environment) it just works if i type "py.test".  Hum, 
i guess that now all files ending with ".test" will get 
executed by python so it's probably not a recommendable
solution. 

Alternatively, py.test.cmd could probably be copied to some
other directory (contained in the Path env) along with
_findpy.py and other scripts and it would just work.  

(or the windows script really gets a different name but
i'd like to avoid it if possible) 

Hum, we are getting closer to good solutions either way 
i think :-) 

cheers,
