You wouldn't gain much with a Pyton script. You can specify the extension
with "assoc".
Try "assoc .zip".
But if you want to try it anyway, look at the "popen2" module (depreciated)
or the "subprocess" module to extract the data and assign it to a variable
that you can parse any way you like.

Subject: [Tutor] Seek suggestions for script for looking up extensions
usingC:\>assoc
Python 3.1; Windows Vista.
I just ran C:\>assoc and was amazed to see 658 associations roll by.
Here's the top of the list:
.001=jZip.file
.386=vxdfile
.3g2=QuickTime.3g2
.3gp=QuickTime.3gp
.3gp2=QuickTime.3gp2
.3gpp=QuickTime.3gpp
.7Z=jZip.file
.aa=NeroShowTime.Files9.aa
.aac=QuickTime.aac
.ac3=QuickTime.ac3
.aca=Agent.Character.2
.acf=Agent.Character.2
.acl=ACLFile
.acr=IrfanView.DCM
.acrobatsecuritysettings=AcroExch.acrobatsecuritysettings
.acs=Agent.Character2.2
.acsm=Adobe.ACSMessage
.AddIn=VCExpress.AddIn.9.0
.adts=QuickTime.adts
.aif=IrfanView.aif
.aifc=WMP11.AssocFile.AIFF
.aiff=WMP11.AssocFile.AIFF
.air=AIR.InstallerPackage
I thought it would be convenient to have a Python script I could use
to look up unfamiliar file extensions. I assume one is possible, but
have no idea where to start, and would appreciate hints and
suggestions.
Thanks,
Dick Moores
