After installing with the python.org Windows installer, double-clicking
x.py should run x.py with the default python. It does for me. The file
should be designed for this to make much sense.

It should be shown in the Edit with IDLE menu. For me, 3.10 is, 3.9 is
not. There might be a tracker issue for this. IDLE is a development
and learning environment, so running from the editor is usually the best
way to run in Python.

The fact that one can only 'open' (run) with a .exe and not a .bat file
has come up on a bugs.python.org tracker issue.

I don't read Russian, so the readme is not useful to me.

If you want to discuss IDLE development more, in English, post on the
idle-dev mailing list.
