How can I change default python shell version?

I am using Windows 10, and I have python 2.7 and 3.6 installed. I want to open a .py file in IDLE 3.6, but when I try to open it, it opens in 2.7. How can I change the default?

To make the python-2x or python-3x as default python IDLE, you need to change the environment variable, if you define the path for n versions of python, you will be able to use that particular version by typing that version in cmd.

See the superuser answer here for step by step instruction

There are different versions of IDLE installed for each Python version. Depending on how you installed Python on Mac OS X, you may find different folders in /Applications. Look for a Python 3.n (n = 1 or 2) folder with an IDLE in it. Or, from a terminal command line, you may find an idle2.6 and an idle3 or idle3.1 or idle3.2.
