For what it's worth, if you just associate .py files with a Python
installation in C:\Python via the standard Windows mechanism for
specifying what application loads a particular extension, it doesn't
matter that the path at the top of the script files is wrong.  After
all, Windows doesn't generally pay any attention to such things anyway.
