I just tried an experiment on my system, and it appears to want to launch IDLE -- but IDLE seems to be broken for me, so it doesn't work properly. But MacOSX certainly *can* launch things based on filename extension, so it would be possible to set it up to work the way Windows does, I think. Personally I never use it that way -- I launch all my text-mode Python programs from a shell, and make application bundles of anything I want to launch from the Finder. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
