[python-win32] running a python script on WinXP by icon double-clicking.

[Gelonida]

Hi Vineet,


Could you please post the output of the
ftype and the assoc commands?




As Tim asked in his post:

Could you try to start the script from a command prompt without the
preceding python command?

So instead of typing:
python entry.py


just type

entry.py


tell us what happens
