You can't associate .py with Idle because Idle is a Python script, not
an executable (an .exe).

Have a look here:
http://superuser.com/questions/68852/change-windows-7-explorer-edit-context-menu-action-for-jpg-and-other-image-fil

In my PC's registry (Windows XP, but Windows 7 should be similar or the
same) it has the entry:

Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE\command
Value: "C:\Python31\pythonw.exe" "C:\Python31\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -n 
-e "%1"

Note how it actually associates the Edit action of Python files with an
.exe file.
