Description (last modified by )
I have just gone through the onboarding process for contributing to django on windows and
noticed one thing that could be improved
In https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/docs/intro/contributing.txt#L208 Change runtest.py to python runtest.py for windows users
as when I ran it first time it just opened in vscode and didnt run.

Hi Chris.
I'm going to say this needs info currently. I'm not sure why you're seeing the behaviour you are but, on Windows I just type
runtests.py(Well I typerunand tab for completion) and it runs the test suite, rather than opening the file. Thus we need to pin down what's different in your case.Take a look at 25b5eea8cdc69a353bb2d22ea2012b09df6c62e4, added just a couple of days ago. Does this help?
Happy to look at specific suggestions for changes, in a PR say, but not sure that the particular change you're suggesting here is (yet) quite right.
Thanks!
