#94722 — My code won't work if I double click the saved file

I have windows 8 running on my computer and I think I downloaded python 2 and 3 simultaneously or I think my computer has built in python 2 and I downloaded python 3. And now when I ran my code in IDLE, the code works fine but when I save my program and double click the save file, it will run but it doesn't worked like it used to work in IDLE.

Can someone explain the possible problem I'm currently facing?

I just want my program to run perfectly in both IDLE and when I double click the saved file.

I posted my question in stackoverflow but I didn't find an answer.

Please run your code from a command prompt.  Tell us exactly what you 
expected to happen and what actually happened.  If you get a traceback 
please cut and paste the entire traceback here.  Show us your code, just 
the bit that causes the problem, as cutting the code back to the bare 
minimum often helps you find the problem.  There is advice on how to do 
this here http://sscce.org/

This sounds like what is known as a "file association" issue. 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?

With the advent of the Python Launcher for Windows things have changed. 
Here's my setup.

C:\Users\Mark\Documents\MyPython>assoc .py
.py=Python.File

C:\Users\Mark\Documents\MyPython>ftype Python.File
Python.File="C:\Windows\py.exe" "%L" %*
