Fair point. Doesn't it argue that there are valid uses for both -p and
-z (in Python terms)? I'm not expert in Java usage, but on Windows,
.jar files are associated with javaw -jar "%1" %*, which would
reinforce the suggestion that Python have a .pyz extension associated
with pythonw -z "%1" %*. Note the -w (GUI) form of both of these...
