On my machine, I can go to a DOS shell, and type
myscript.py
This will cause the script to be run as a python script. So that bit
works.

On another machine, on which python was set up without admin
privileges, if I type
myscript.py
it will open the "Open With" dialog box. It wont let me execute it
with python.exe. It asks me the same question every time, too. If I
type
python myscript.py
then everything works fine.

Is there a way of setting up the "other" machine so that it replicates
the behaviour of my machine?

Which operating systems are we talking about?

What does that mean, exactly? What happens when you try to select python?

Depends on which OS we're talking about. I'm guessing you're using
Windows, but I don't know which version, and I don't possess the
Registry-fu you'll probably need.

Assuming you're talking Windows XP, Vista or Win7 you can do the following:

There are registry settings in two places, hklm and hkcu. If you only
have one user on the machine, it probably doesn't matter. in that case,
there's a nice commandline way to make these associations.

assoc creates associations beteween a file extension and a string
ftype creates an association between that string and an executable
program.

On my machine, assoc .py shows

..py=Python.File

and ftype Python.File shows

python.file="C:\PrgFiles\APYTHO~1\python.exe" "%1" %*
