You need to have files with .py or .pyo or .py registered to open with the python interpreter. In Windows Explorer, choose the menu item Tools->Folder Options and select the File Types tab to see how registered file types are set up. On my system, for the extension .py, the "open" action has an application string of C:\Python23\python.exe "%1" %*. For .pyw files it's C:\Python23\pythonw.exe "%1" %*. I can double click on a .py file and it executes, or use the command prompt. I believe if you install the Activestate distribution it sets up the file registrations automatically.
