Association of Python files in Windows not working












2















On my system (Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit) Python files are associated with Python interpreter:



C:UsersPiotr>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
C:UsersPiotr>ftype Python.File
Python.File=c:python2.7python.exe "%1" %*


Nevertheless when I run any Python script from command line a window titled Open With pops up asking me to Choose the program you want to use to open this file.

          no, Keltari's suggestion should work. there is another checkbox that asks whether to use the settings for all files of this type.



          Also, make sure your PATH (system/user environment variable) includes the path to your python executable.

            Press right click on one of the codes you already have, and choose the IDE (or whatever else) you want to open the .py file with, and choose to make it the default app to open those files.
            Hope it helped.
