But when I try to drop something on it nothing happens. Sorry I guess there is something fundamental that I am missing.

Pedro, I'll reply to this message instead of the last one because, I actually tried the little script you have there, and it does work
I'm on Windows though.

Well, my version of your script is this:
-------------------------
import sys
for arg in sys.argv:
   print arg

raw_input()
-------------------------

The raw_input() at the end is what keeps the window open so I can see that something really happened before the window closed. When I drop a file into my script, it prints two lines: The script filename and the filename of the file I dropped.
So I call it a win.

I don't know how it behaves in mac, but please try and tell. (Also put your usual #!/usr/bin/env python in there to work for you)
