My bad. It's Control Panel\Programs\Default
Programs\Set Associations.
(I could be wrong, but wasn't this all in one place in
previous versions...?) Anyway, scroll down to
.py/.pyc/.pyo/.pyw, and I bet you'll find it pointing
to a no-longer-valid installation.
py is listed as idle.pyw
This is NOT the default behavior (the default is
python.exe) - I suspect you must have changed this for
convenience when you first installed your old version of
Python.
pyw as pythonw.exe (no console)
pyc/pyo as python.exe.
Whoops, pyo/c are compiled python file.
It's stupid and irritating, but Windows only gives you
the executable name - not the path. Out of curiosity, does it
show you the correct icons, or does it show you some generic
Windows program icon, or something broken?
The icons look python-ish. I just used Win7 magnifier. Py looks
like a window with a red spot on the left and blue one on the
right. pyc looks like a blue and a yellow snake of some sort one
top of one another.
I tried adding python25 to the path as suggested by Wayne Werner. It
had no affect.
In any case, click "Change program...", then "Browse" to the
current proper locations, and click OK. This should (finally) fix
your problem...
Change Program? Do you mean on the installed program list?
The uninstall/install should have fixed this, but there are a lot
of things that could interfere - perhaps you didn't run it as
Administrator, perhaps it tripped over your previously-modified
setting, perhaps the installer is buggy, perhaps gremlins are
trying to mess with your head...?
Probably the latter. :-) Well, I may just punt and go to a 64-bit
install. Maybe up matters by going to 2.6. I think my 2.5.2 need
may have disappeared.
