Bug report

Calling distutils.spawn.find_executable("python.EXE") on Windows, where python.EXE actually exists fails because of the current code which does this:

    _, ext = os.path.splitext(executable)
    if (sys.platform == 'win32') and (ext != '.exe'):
        executable = executable + '.exe'

This code does not handle the case, which means the executable is modified to python.EXE.exe and therefore the file is never found.
