which reg values modified my python installer under windows

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,

I am looking for the reg path that is modified/created by the pyton
installer to associate *.pyc with python.exe as I wish to associate *.pyc
with pythonw.exe

Regards,


Philippe

Philippe,

You wrote: I wish to associate *.pyc with pythonw.exe

is there some reason why Tools->Folder Options->File Types (from a
Windows Explorer menu) won't work?

You could do it from a cmd prompt with assoc and ftype if you needed to
script it.

All the best,

Keir.

Keir,

I forgot to mention that I want to do it automatically from my application's
installer.

Regards,

Philippe

Philippe,

Windows file associations are in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts

Hope that helps you.

All the best,

Keir.

Yes Keir, Thanks a lot.

Calling the "assoc" and "ftype" commands is one approach. Try them with
the existing settings to see how standard Python sets them up:

c:\> assoc .py
..py=Python.File

c:\> ftype Python.File
....

Use "assoc /?" or "ftype /?" for help.
