[issue29014] Python 3.5.2 installer doesn't register IDLE .py extensions on Windows 10

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

The Python launcher is the right app to select. Double-clicking .py files has always run them with the interpreter, but you will also get the right-click menu once they are associated with the launcher (this is what I meant by it being the single integration point).

There has never been a time when double-clicking a .py file has opened in IDLE by default after installing any release from python.org. Associating with idle.bat is the best way to achieve this as we do not include any other launcher (and we don't support using idle.bat either, though it should work and we'll try and help you if it doesn't, but it's not a core scenario for the main distribution).
