Installing Python 3 on Windows

[Uri Even-Chen]

I have the launcher installed and I configured it with a C:\Windows\py.ini
file to run Python 3 when typing "py". But when I type the file name it
runs Python 2.

>py
Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:01:18) [MSC v.1900 32
bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()

>python --version
Python 2.7.12

>assoc .py
.py=Python.File

>ftype Python.File
Python.File="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*

How do I associate .py files with the launcher?
