Set Spyder as default Python

python, spyder

Solution

This is a variation based on Jose's solution of creating a .bat file that eventually worked for me.

Create a spyder.bat file with the following content:

`start C:\YourPath\Anaconda2\pythonw.exe C:\YourPath\Anaconda2\cwp.py C:\YourPath\Anaconda2 "C:/YourPath/Anaconda2/pythonw.exe" "C:/YourPath/Anaconda2/Scripts/spyder-script.py" %1`

Change YourPath to your actual Anaconda path. Other solutions didn't work for me, and the code here is inspired by Spyder shortcut's target.

Problem

I've recently installed Anaconda (using the default settings) on Windows 7. When I try to open a .py file by double-clicking it, I get the `Open with...` option. How can I set the default program as `Spyder`?
