Yes, the same thing is done in the 2.2.3 and 2.3.2 installers.
To be clear there are a few associations going on here:
- A default "Open" association is made to python.exe (or pythonw.exe)
for .py, .pyc and .pyw files. I presume that you have no objection to
this one.
- An "Edit" association is made for .py and .pyw files to PythonWin.
Unfortunately there is no option to make the "Edit" association not
happen. Note that this association is only made if the PyWin32 feature
is installed, though I suppose that that is not a sufficient work-around
for you. I have added a feature request for this in our bug system:
http://bugs.activestate.com/ActivePython/show_bug.cgi?id=27930
I can't promise when we can implement this, but I think it is a very
reasonable feature request.
As a workaround I can show you how to manually disable this associations
by mucking around in your registry if you like.
Sincerely,
Trent
