Eryk Sun added the comment: openwithidle_for_frostyelsa.reg adds an open command for the current user that opens the target file in IDLE. This will take precedence over the per-machine open command that executes the file using the launcher. It also adds "Run" and "Run as administrator" comman

David added the comment: Before re-installing Windows 10, I was able to open up all my .py files by double-clicking on them and it would open them up in the IDLE (where I could edit the code manually and what have you). I'm not sure why it's never been a feature: I was doing that for many mon

Eryk Sun added the comment: > I want this to be a regular installation of Python wherein I can > associate .py files with IDLE That isn't a regular installation. It's not even an optional configuration, and never has been. You'd have to set that up manually. Are you looking to [-r]un files in

David added the comment: Following your instructions on key deletion, I have now 2 "Edit with IDLE" options now. The top one does *not* work. The second one, however, does work. But when I tried to associate the .py with idle (so it opens up in IDLE) it reverted back to the command-line run of

David added the comment: Yes, I have IDLE installed, and Launcher is installed as well. I can open up IDLE from the shortcut, however I am not able to access it within "Open With" or "Default Programs" or "Change" (within Properties). I _can_ open up the file only if I open up IDLE first then

Steve Dower added the comment: But you definitely have idle installed, right? The commands earlier made an assumption about your installation that could be wrong, so that would explain it. I'm still not entirely clear whether you've done these steps yet: 1. Right-click a .py file and select O

David added the comment: So I tried changing it to py.exe, and it doesn't load the IDLE: instead, it opens up the run command for the program in command prompt. That's not what I want it to do. Also, there still is no Edit With IDLE option. And I tried doing the ProgID stuff, but none of it wo

David added the comment: I'm going to tackle the questions one-by-one: I would like these ".py" files to be IDLE files in the sense that they have the IDLE icon and they open up directly into an idle file with a shell in the background. For context: on my other Windows 10 machine, I've been a

eryk sun added the comment: It looks like you've accidentally created and selected an auto-generated association between .py and python.exe. You should be able to restore the original file association to get the "Edit with IDLE" menu back. In Windows 10 the "open with" menu has an option to "c

Steve Dower added the comment: I'm not familiar with any of the other proposed solutions - could you link to a few? One important factor is that you need to install the Python Launcher to get the context menus (this is the default in 3.5 and later). Associating directly to the Python installa

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: .py files are not 'IDLE based', even if edited with IDLE. They are Python files and should normally be registered to run with Python directly, and not via IDLE. The right click context menu *should* include "Edit with IDLE". I have re-marked this issue for

New submission from David Karimi: "Edit with IDLE" option is also not present in my installation when I right-click on a .py file. And when I try to choose the IDLE application, it just defaults to the command line version every time. I don't know why this happens. I was able to run it fine on
