I get
C:\Users\Terry>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
C:\Users\Terry>assoc .pyw
.pyw=Python.NoConFile
C:\Users\Terry>assoc .pyo
.pyo=Python.CompiledFile
C:\Users\Terry>assoc .pyc
.pyc=Python.CompiledFile
None of this specifies the program, which is currently Python Launcher
for Windows (console). (See Control Panel / Default Programs / Set
Associations.)

Somewhere during the install, there is a checkbox or something about
grabbing file associations or about making the install the default
version. I do not remember.
