I agree let the restoration or not of file association be an implementation detail and not a requirement. I also agree with Paul Moore that py.exe should be a separate install/uninstall It can be bundled with the python MSI but should be a standalone MSI that the python MSI executes. So uninstalling the version of python that installed it alone is not enough to remove it. This will make it seem like the file associations are just working for naive users but will still let them remove the associations. We can just put a warning in the uninstall process of py.exe that lets the user know if they still have python versions installed they will need to re-install them to get the file association again. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
