Would be nice to be able to detect whether the user started with py or python, otherwise should default to py on windows.

Research direction

Locate the error messages that emit "python -m" and inspect how the installer determines the command used to start it. Done means Windows messages use the detected py or python launcher, defaulting to py when appropriate, without changing behavior on other platforms.
