Summary
There seem to be a couple issues when calling python from the WinPython Command Prompt.
Issue 1:
- Bug: Calling
python while in the install_dir/scripts directory opens up ptPython.
- Expected: Calling
python from any directory should run the standard python REPL. Calling ptpython from any directory should run ptpython.
Issue 2:
- Bug: Exiting
ptPython while in the install_dir/scripts directory exits to the install_dir/notebooks directory, but only if entered by using Bug1 above.
- Expected: Exiting
ptpython while in the install_dir/scripts directory should return the user to the install_dir/scripts directory.
Example:

Version:
Fresh install of WinPython 3.5.1.3 (bd23ff5)
