Can't help with Windows, but when I tried it on Linux, it found a .py file:

(executable-find "ana")
"/home/nick/bin/ana.py"

Necessary prerequisites:

o my PATH included /home/nick/bin
o /home/nick/bin/ana.py is executable
o ".py" has been added to exec-suffixes as above.

In particular, executable-find will *not* find .py files (even
executable ones) in an arbitrary directory; it will also *not* find .py
files in a directory in your PATH if they are not marked executable (on
Linux, the mode of the file has to be set to something like 755 for it
to be executable).
