I have installed Python using Choco in PowerShell on windows. It works.
Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I also installed ansible from pip
ansible==2.3.0.0
But when I run ansible from PowerShell, Windows ask me how to open the program and give me a windows programs select list. Why?
You cannot do it using Python on Windows. It is not supported nor planned.
You can run a Linux virtual machine.
Some people managed to run Ansible in Cygwin, but it's not officially supported.
Refer to Using a Windows control machine:
A Linux control machine is required to manage Windows hosts.

Running Ansible from a Windows control machine directly is not a goal of the project. Refrain from asking for this feature, as it limits what technologies, features, and code we can use in the main project in the future.
That said, the direct reason for ansible not being run is probably the fact that it doesn't have an extension associated with Python. But fixing this won't allow running Ansible anyway.
just to add to the existing answer, ansible works perfectly fine with WSL\Bash on Windows. I've managed to get Vagrant + Ansible working on WSL. And I didn't really have to do anything special.
SSH works\Ansible provisioner works\Vagrant works
