Comment (by Mike Toews):

 Generally speaking, calling `python script_name.py` should normally show
 "python: can't open file 'script_name.py': [Errno 2] No such file or
 directory", unless that file exists in the current directory.

 With OSGeo4w's Shell, these commands are normally run by their name
 without any extension:
 {{{
 C:\>gdal_calc
 Usage: gdal_calc.py --calc=expression --outfile=out_filename [-A filename]
                     [--A_band=n] [-B...-Z filename] [other_options]
 ...
 }}}

 Internally, the Python scripts are usually run with a tiny BAT script,
 e.g. see `where gdal_calc` for the full path of the thing that CMD calls:
 {{{
 C:\>where gdal_calc
 C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\gdal_calc.bat

 C:\>cat C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\gdal_calc.bat
 @echo off
 call "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\o4w_env.bat"
 python "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\gdal_calc.py" %*
 }}}
