I really don't want to give people the idea that this is the way to go. Maybe we can point them toward (or include) https://github.com/losttech/WhichPython? Maybe give a note above to set the PYTHONNET_PYDLL environment variable?

Yeah, I wasn't really keen on this either, but I figured since this was one of the examples given in the paragraph above it that this would be at least acceptable.
I also thought about mentioning the env var, but I didn't want to clutter this example with a comment (at least not without the permisson of you guys)
