This will cause the script to be run as a python script. So that bit
works.
On another machine, on which python was set up without admin
privileges, if I type
myscript.py
it will open the "Open With" dialog box. It wont let me execute it
with python.exe. It asks me the same question every time, too. If I
type
python myscript.py
then everything works fine.
Is there a way of setting up the "other" machine so that it replicates
the behaviour of my machine?
Assuming you're talking Windows XP, Vista or Win7 you can do the following:
There are registry settings in two places, hklm and hkcu. If you only
have one user on the machine, it probably doesn't matter. in that case,
there's a nice commandline way to make these associations.
assoc creates associations beteween a file extension and a string
ftype creates an association between that string and an executable
program.
On my machine, assoc .py shows
.py=Python.File
and ftype Python.File shows
python.file="C:\PrgFiles\APYTHO~1\python.exe" "%1" %*
