About the PY file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .PY files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The PIY file extension stands for Python script language source code. This is used in program files or scripts written in Python. This is an interpreted object-oriented language used in the programming files. The PY files may be created and modified using a text editor. However, the files require a Python interpreter or converter in order to be executed or worked on. These are often used for administrative computer systems and for programming Web servers. The PY files are created using the integration support and tools for other languages. The PY files may also be saved and found in the application's extensive standard libraries.
