Well, it's *new* as the IronPython installer has never done this
before - and I would certainly question whether it is desirable for
it to be the *default* for IronPython.<br>
<br>
IronPython doesn't use .pyc files (and not really .pyw either I
think) so it isn't surprising it doesn't change those. I would
really prefer that IronPython doesn't seize the association with .py
files without explicit instruction from the user .<br>

type="cite">Every version of Python which you install will take
over as the default "Open" command for .py files -- and will
supply it's own icon for them. When you are trying out a new
Python version, you must remember to re-install your chosen
default version afterward, if you expect to double-click a .py and
get a certain version of Python to start. The same thing happens
with Python 3.1 and 2.7 for example. I use so many different
versions that I have given up on the re-install trick. I now use a
bunch of .bat files (in a directory on my search path) to pick the
version I want.<br>
<br>
For example, the file "py23.bat" contains:<br>
c:\python23\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br>
<br>
and "py31.bat" contains:<br>
c:\python31\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br>
<br>
and "ipy.bat" contains:<br>
"c:\program files\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
%9<br>
<br>
The file "python.bat" points to my chosen default version for this
week.<br>
<br>
So to test"myTestScript" under IronPython 2.7, I type:<br>
ipy myTestScript.py arg1 arg2<br>
<br>
The same little c:\utils directory also contains such handy tools
as tail.exe, unix2dos.exe, less.exe, and 2to3.bat, which contains:<br>
c:\python26\python.exe c:\python26\Tools\Scripts\2to3.py %1 %2 %3
%4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br>
<br>
You get the picture... Those of us who's brains are stuck in
console mode do this sort of thing.<br>

<br>
Thanks for making available a new IronPython build. The 2.7
Beta 1<br>
installer has a few issues through:<br>
<br>
1. Changing the default installation folder doesn't work:
IronPython<br>
will be installed in two places: "C:\Program Files
(x86)\IronPython<br>
2.7" and the installation folder that you specified.<br>
<br>
2. If you have already have CPython installed, IronPython will<br>
overwrite the icon for .py files, but not for .pyc and .pyw
files.<br>
Please don't replace the CPython icons or at least make this
an<br>
installer option.<br>
