Alright!  Now I understand what all the hubbub is about!  My eyes have
mostly been glazing over trying to follow all this Windows registry/path/ini
stuff.  MS believes that Python is the application.  Those of us writing
Python programs view those programs as the applications, not the Python
interpreter per se.  Is there some way that people writing applications in
Python can set up registry entries that are specific to their application
(e.g. tabnanny.py) instead of only specific to the Python interpreter?
