RE: ActivePython 2.3.2 & ActivePython 2.2.3
I finally installed ActivePython 2.2.2 just last week and was annoyed to find my .PY and .PYW file types re-associated to PythonWin. Can I expect the same behavior with 2.2.3 and 2.3.2? Is there a way to disable the association of file types when installing ActivePython?

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.

RE: ActivePython 2.3.2 & ActivePython 2.2.3
Hi Trent, Thanks for adding the feature request. The biggest problem with the installation program re-associating the file types is that I had "Edit" as the default action. It could have been quite problematic if a script that I expected to edit was actually executed instead. Actually, since only two file types are affected, it's not difficult fixing the problem after the fact. It's not nearly as bad as installing Visual Studio .DEV! Thanks again, Matthew PS: If you happen to have a script (preferably Python) that will associate file types with applications in the registry, then please send it to me. If not, no problem. -Original Message- From: Trent Mick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 1:27 PM To: Matthew Thornley Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ActivePython 2.3.2 & ActivePython 2.2.3 [Matthew Thornley wrote] > I finally installed ActivePython 2.2.2 just last week and was annoyed > to find my .PY and .PYW file types re-associated to PythonWin.
