Comment 1 ardavis26 2008-10-18 13:16:08 UTC 
what python command did you give it?
Comment 2 sunbiz 2008-10-19 07:18:27 UTC 
Did not give any Python command. In the Python platforms dialog, pressed the New button and selected python.exe from 
Python26 installation folder... got this exception as soon as added the new platform
Comment 3 Jenselme 2015-10-02 17:32:11 UTC 
I tried to replicate on linux. No success. I removed an execption that was thrown if the user tries to use a non existant file (eg /usr/bin/pyton instead of /usr/bin/python).

I think that some must try to replicate this on Windows to see if this is platform dependent or not.

summary:     Don't throw an exception if the user tries to use an inexistant file as a python executable
