David, there should be a script that edits the registry for you, and
it comes with a shortcut to help run it.  Which version of PythonCE
did you install?


 

      
It didn't work for me. The one supplied seem to need running on the PC
(using cereg.exe)  not the PocketPC - and it defines various *extra*
entries as well. It didn't work for me yet anyway.

I haven't yet taken the manual steps described to get it working. I was
re-installing over a previous install.
    

Here is the script that I used (maybe it is from Luke):

#
#	Setup the registry to allow us to double click on python scripts
#
from _winreg import *

print "Setting up registry to allow\ndouble clicking of Python files to work"

#
#	Create the registry entries for ".py" and ".pyc" extensions
#
for Name in (".py", ".pyc"):
    Key = CreateKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, Name)
    SetValue(Key, None, REG_SZ, "Python.File")
    CloseKey(Key)

#
#	Create HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\Shell\Open\Command = "\Program Files\Python\Python.exe" "%1"
#
Key = CreateKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "Python.File")
for Name in ("Shell","Open","Command"):
  New_Key= CreateKey(Key, Name)
  CloseKey(Key)
  Key = New_Key
SetValue(Key, None, REG_SZ, "\"\\Program Files\\Python\\Python.exe\" \"%1\"")
CloseKey(Key)

import time
time.sleep(5)

I did run it with 'execfile(r"\My Documents\Scripts\setup-registry.py")'
on the pocket PC itself, from within Python.

What I didn't achieve so far was to associate a useful icon with .py
files, maybe someone could post the registry entries for that?

  
This associates '.py' with Python. There was a separate distribution of Tk/Tkinter posted to the group recently (or at least a URL).

This was purportedly more recent than other versions available for download. This distribution had a Tcl script to transfer the files to the PocketPC, this script 'hung' on me, so I followed the manual instructions. As part of this it included a batch file (that needed editing appropriately) to setup the registry entries on the PocketPC so that Python can find the install of Tk.

It uses ``cereg.exe`` run on the PC (AFAICT) to make the registry entries. It's possible of course that it ought to be run on the PocketPC - maybe I'll try that. (It certainly didn't work for me, but then it didn't report errors either, which you would expect if you try to run a PocketPC application on the desktop).

All the best,
