 Replying to [comment:34 mmetz]:

 > Reopening the ticket because calling python scripts from /scripts with
 wxGUI does not work with the error message that the system does not know
 what to do with py files. This applies to systems without a separate
 system-wide python 2.x installation. Or is a separate python 2.x
 installation now a requirement?

 The system must be able to "execute" Python scripts.

 On Unix, this means that a Python interpreter named "python" must be
 present in $PATH. On Windows, it means that a Python interpreter must be
 associated with the .py extension.

 Please do not try to implement half-baked "fixes" such as requiring .bat
 files or requiring special treatment for executing scripts. Both Unix and
 Windows have standard mechanisms to support execution of scripts; those
 mechanisms (and only those mechanisms) should be used.
