open_with_windows.py not working

[Tback1]

After an update of firefox from 57 beta 5 to 58 beta1 the openwith is workless. so I try to rebuild the .bat and .json file I've tried the python 2.7.14 and python 3.6.both under Windows 7SP1 64bit but it just not to work and seems the function install didn't work, and I try to use the pycharm to debug it, it seems define the version =7.3 than direct goto the bottom line print('Open With native helper, version %s.' % VERSION)

I checked the reg the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet is well and the path of python is well. I don't know where the environment of system is not fine but the open_with_windows.py will not to make the bat and json

  "C:\Program Files\Pyhon27\python.exe" C:/openwith/open_with_windows.py install
 Open With native helper, version 7.0.3.

Python 3.6.0 |Anaconda 4.3.1 (64-bit)| (default, Dec 23 2016, 11:57:41) [MSC v.1

PS I've try to use the powershell file to skip the dependency of python.but it not work too.

"C:\Program Files\Pyhon27\python.exe" C:/openwith/open_with_windows.py install

This should work (without the typo). I'm not sure why it doesn't.

If you replace the last line print('Open With native helper, version %s.' % VERSION) with print(sys.argv) and try again, what happens?

[Tback1]

@darktrojan after instead of the print the console show me this C:\openwith>C:\openwith\open_with_windows.py install ['C:\\openwith\\open_with_windows.py']

@darktrojan the powershell give more debug information

After reading this thread I suspect it might have the answer you're looking for. You'll have to find the right place in the registry and add the %* to get extra arguments sent to Python.

[Tback1]

Great，it's work！！！

but it's under this reg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command set the default item as "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe" "%1" %*

I'm not sure if it helps, I've made a small launcher for windows that doesn't require Python. https://github.com/mbooga/owclauncher
