New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:
The installer for Windows creates file associations in Tools/msi/launcher/launcher_reg.wxs that identify ".py[w]" files as text/plain. This is inconsistent with the mimetypes module, which uses text/x-python, and may cause some applications to assume that calling ShellExecute on a .py file will open a text editor rather than executing the script. We should update the MIME type to text/x-python. This can be backported, as the change is in the launcher and isn't tied to the usual upgrade paths anyway. ---------- components: Windows messages: 361989 nosy: paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Fix file association MIME type on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39631> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
