No, unfortunately IDLE (and its variant VIDLE) don't attach .py as the
default. It would seem useful for someone to change IDLE/VIDLE to do
that, but it's not currently something you can set in the
configurations.
Searching the VPython archives and googling I found various schemes
for restoring the behavior that used to be available for starting IDLE
(or VIDLE) by right-clicking a .py file, but I couldn't get any of
these to work. Maybe someone else on this list has found a way. I
agree that it was a very convenient scheme.
