We currently assume py, the python launcher on windows, is always present. We should test without it and allow only python.exe and show good error messages when both are missing.

There's also python-launcher for unix which also provides a py command (and is waaaay faster than pyenv et al). Might be worth tying it to the presence of a py command in the Path rather than just Windows.
