As Josiah Carlson pointed out, the mechanism on windows is
different.  You can figure out how to do this in the command
line environment by typing "HELP ASSOC" and "HELP FTYPE".
Essentially, there is a two-layer association between file
extensions and programs.  ASSOC sets the association of an
extension with a file type.  FTYPE associates a file type
with a command.

So, after typing the following to your command processor:

     ASSOC .py=Python.File
     FTYPE Python.File=C:\python23\python.exe %1 %*

You should be able to run python files by simply typing their
name (assuming a standard python 2.3 install on drive C).
