File association not found for extension .py

Question

I am having trouble executing my anaconda python

It seems python is not associated correctly or not at all

I do not have admin rights as this is a work computer and going through IT takes forever

My anaconda is located in the C:\Users\dean.lemcke-evans\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3

Here is the error I am getting how do I fix it?

Answer 1

To fix “File association not found for extension .py” on Windows, execute the following two commands in a cmd.exe with administrator privileges:

assoc .py=pyautofile
ftype pyautofile="C:\Anaconda2\python.exe" "%1" %*

Obviously edit the python.exe path above to where python.exe is found on your machine.
