def pycmd2argv(cmd):
    r"""Take the path of a python command and return a list (argv-style).

    This only works on Python based command line programs and will find the
    location of the ``python`` executable using ``sys.executable`` to make
    sure the right version is used.

    For a given path ``cmd``, this returns [cmd] if cmd's extension is .exe,
    .com or .bat, and [, cmd] otherwise.

    Parameters
    ----------
    cmd : string
      The path of the command.

    Returns
