Run python-script from CMD - windows [duplicate]

Question

I want to run my python script without the python keyword at the beginning.

Example : I don't want python script.py.

I want script.py

The problem is that when I run it how I want the script opens in a text editor, and it doesn't run in the console...

Why?

do you want to run python script from command prompt without using python as prefix? any specific reason? — Harsha Biyani

Yes, I do... I wanna make a CLI tool, I don't want to use the python prefix every time I run it. — Catalin

Type ftype /? and assoc /?. If you also want to dump the .py part - see set pathext. If it's just one file see doskey /?. Batch files are also used for this. The dup is similar problem and cause but is bash specific. — user6017774

It's not a duplicate... I've ran it like so on another computer, without the python prefix, and it works.. Now - on windows 10 it opens the file in a text-editor instead running it! — Catalin

I just had to set the default opening of the file with python.exe, By default it was with VS Code.

That's what the commands I told you do. But in a command prompt.

You should've been more explanatory!!!!
