	PYTHONPATH	is used to specify where the Python interpreter will look
for "import" modules from within a running Python script.

	If the install (I have always used the ActiveState installs so don't
know what plain Python does on Windows) has set up the environment such
that ".py" files are executable, then putting the script directory on the
regular system PATH should let you run them by entering their name in a
command shell.
