Hi. I built a little installer on windows XP using distutils for my package. In there i add a few files to the python script directory. I would like one of these scripts to be the default program to be used by files with a given extention (e.g. i have an image viewer and would like it to be used when ever i click on a .gif file). I can do this manually (through Tools->Folder Options->File Types), but it would be nicer if the installer could configure this.
It seems this may be possible through the "postinstallation" script of distutils, but i have no clue how to do this. does any have experience with this? i assume i need to edit the registry entries, but i dont know how or which ones. thx for any help alex. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
