Your computer's desktop is perhaps associating .py files with the python2 executable. I do not use Windows, but I believe you can adjust these associations. However, the first question (to verify that this is the issue) is: if you deliberately invoke python2 and execute your code with it, does it behave the same way as when you currently double click on the file?
