On Windows, if you are editing the python script, just do:

!start python my...

and press tab to cycle along the available file names, until you find your match:

!start python myscript.py

It will run in a new cmd window. Personally I prefer to do !start cmd and from there run Python, since it is easier to debug from the eventual error messages.
