Yes, this is the purpose of this patch.
On Windows it clears any PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME definition, if python.exe is found in Kicad
binaries, and forces kicad/bin as first folder to search executables.

Therefore, if an other python install exists, it should not create issues for kicad (theoretically...)
