Executable clickable python file on Windows 10

    • Windows 10
    • Python 3.8.2

    How can I make a python.py file executable when I click on it? It would run on files in the same directory. Python is working through the Windows command line. In Linux it was easy - but I can't figure it out on Windows 10. I couldn't even get answers through Google.


    A sample script would be great - such as write to text file.

    In Windows Explorer, select a .py file then right-click->Open With->More Apps->scroll to bottom->Look for another app on this PC->select your python executable->keep Always use this app to open .py files->OK

    Then it should work when you double click on any .py file from Windows Explorer (probably also on desktop or from start menu too).
