Instead of directly writing to the Windows registry, you can also execute  
these two commands:

assoc .foo=Foo.File
ftype Foo.File=c:\path\to\python.exe c:\path\to\script.py "%1" %*

They work on every non-prehistoric Windows version...

(replace foo with the desired extension - I would *NOT* use txt!)
