Getting notepad++ to associate "wscript" with Python files

Question

(related to How can I tell Notepad++ to always use a particular language with a particular file extension )

I want to have Notepad++ to associate wscript files with the Python language. Is there a way to do this? It has no extension.

Answer 1

Create a symlink to the wscript file but give the link the correct extension, e.g.

mklink /H wscript.py wscript

When you edit the wscript.py file you should find that notepad correctly treats it as a Python file.
