Setting py-python-command after M-x py-shell doesn't work

If I do M-x py-shell, I get an error:

"Searching for program: no such file or directory, python"

That's ok, I just need to set `py-python-command', right?
(setq py-python-command "c:/python24/python.exe")

Then I do M-x py-shell again, I get the same error message:

"Searching for program: no such file or directory, python"

Why didn't setting py-python-command work?

However, if I switch to another buffer, (actually a
buffer in which I haven't tried M-x py-shell before
setting `py-python-command') M-x py-shell will now work.
