Need to check the specific install, I've seen two or three different
assoc names used in the past...
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents>ftype python.file
python.file="C:\Python_x64\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*
ftype links a "file type" handler to the executable path (note the "%1"
is the placeholder for the script name itself, and arguments to the script
are collected with %*). Assoc then links the extension to the handler (so
you can also assoc .pyc files to the same interpreter).
