Here is the output from the commands you listed which looks right to me.

C:\>assoc .py
.py=Python.File

C:\>ftype python.file
python.file="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*

I am using Python 2.5.2 from http://www.python.org/ running on Windows 
Vista. Would ActiveState's version be a better choice here?
