When you make the association, you're really telling Explorer "when I
double-click a file with this extension, invoke python.exe with this
file as the first argument passed."
As noted elsewhere in this thread (I think), Windows has no execute
bit - it just has a list of file types it can execute. CMD, BAT, COM &
EXE are the ones that come to mind, there might be one I'm forgetting.
To test what you describe above, create a basic "hello world" program
in Python, and another as a batchfile. At a command prompt, just run
"helloworld.bat" and "helloworld.py" - that's pretty much what SVN
will be doing. Note that helloworld.py won't run, but "python
helloworld.py" will.
