I haven't used Windows in a long while. When I did, I used
 assoc.exe and ftype.exe to set my python to run py.exe.  That
 program is installed by pthon 3.3 and later.  In turn, it
 interprets the shebang line, launching whatever version
 needed.

However somebody corrected me, saying that per-user mappings in
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes can override the ones set with
 ftype and assoc.
