For the Windows users out there:
A google search returned me this:
Make Python Scripts Droppable in Windows
<http://mindlesstechnology.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/make-python-scripts-droppable-in-windows/>
I checked my registry and the extension was there. That must be why my
drop script works.
No idea how it got there though. FWIW, I have installed Python through
the .msi installer.
PS: What I like is that the page I linked actually has my little test
script in it :D
I must be doing something right.
PS2: I guess I'm starting to deduce that the answer is
platform/installation specific rather than python/script specific.
That turns the question it to a whole new direction for me.

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)
