Thanks for the info Luke.

The correct syntax for the inf file is(All as one Line):
HKCR,Python.File,DefaultIcon,0x00000002,"\Program 
Files\Python24\python.exe,0"; DefaultIcon = "\Program 
Files\Python24\python.exe,0"

In the examples I was looking at I wasn't sure what the section after 
the semi-colon was for, it may not be necessary. But I test this line 
and it worked.

Now the only question is if it should be a different icon from the Shell 
exe or if the console-less .pyw should be a different icon than the others.
