I get
C:\Users\Terry>assoc .py
.py=Python.File

C:\Users\Terry>assoc .pyw
.pyw=Python.NoConFile

C:\Users\Terry>assoc .pyo
.pyo=Python.CompiledFile

C:\Users\Terry>assoc .pyc
.pyc=Python.CompiledFile

None of this specifies the program, which is currently Python Launcher 
for Windows (console).  (See Control Panel / Default Programs / Set 
Associations.)

Somewhere during the install, there is a checkbox or something about 
grabbing file associations or about making the install the default 
version. I do not remember.
