Issue

I am starting to use Poetry and would like to try to improve some rough edges I have hit before recommending it to novice users.

On Windows, the official installation instructions state:

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python -

And similar for the master branch:

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | python -

The problem is that the most common way to install/invoke Python on Windows for launching is through the py launcher. Adding python to the PATH is a box that is unchecked by default. This means from an average user on Windows their first experience with trying to install Poetry the recommended way will be failure.

I recommend that the default instructions | py - or at the very least mention that you might have to do this prominently.
