Python 3.4.1 install does not create a file association for .py files on Windows

[Edward Diener]

I install Python 3.4.1 64-bit on Windows. After the install I type:
assoc .py

and I get back:

File association not found for extension .py

Why does not the Python install to associate extension .py with the 
Python Launcher for Windows ?
