In newer versions, there is a py.exe file which they put on their path. Then in the registry is a two-stage association between the .py and .pyw extensions and the above executable. Finally, when py.exe starts, it reads that first (shebang) line, and decides which python interpreter to actually use. One problem I've heard about is that if someone installs 2.7 on top of 3.x, it can wipe out the file associations, and mess this stuff up. The py.exe can be separately installed, to use on older python versions. This all happened after I cut loose from Windows. -- DaveA
