How to make python scripts executable on Windows? [duplicate]


This sums it up better than I can say it:

http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html

More specifically, check out the 2nd section titled "How do I make Python scripts executable?"

On Windows, the standard Python installer already associates the .py extension with a file type (Python.File) and gives that file type an open command that runs the interpreter (D:\Program Files\Python\python.exe "%1" %*). This is enough to make scripts executable from the command prompt as foo.py. If you’d rather be able to execute the script by simple typing foo with no extension you need to add .py to the PATHEXT environment variable.
