Re: .py and running in Windows:
The only problem I know of for changing PY files to open up in an editor is that it could screw up Python as a CGI with Apache under Windows. To change file associations, right click and go to Open With. Choose your text editor and click always open with this problem at the bottom. And easy way to run your scripts is to open a console (Start-Run-type cmd.exe and hit OK). Type python and dragdrop your .py file into the console. It will copy the path name (C:\programming\python stuff\myproject\mypython.py).

Re: .py and running in Windows:
i modify C:\Python\python.exe -i %1 %* to cmd /k;C:\Python\python.exe -i %1 %* or cmd /k;C:\Python\python.exe%1 %* just a little trick.
