Description
### Describe the feature
The call to associated `.py` produces unnecessary stderr output every time `aws.cmd` is invoked if there are no system-level associations with .py files, eg.
```
File association not found for extension .py
```
### Use Case
Customers may have `.py` extensions set to open with their code editor of choice, but it should also be used as the Python interpreter.
### Proposed Solution
- We can suppress the error output by redirecting the stderr output to the NUL device (similar to what you would do in POSIX environments).
- This has no effect on the "happy case" where file associations do exist.
### Other Information
The aws.cmd script itself doesn't support other use-cases such as running under `pipx` (see: https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/719).
