Message 228638 - Python tracker
Better late than never. At least on Windows, with has defaultextension = '', changeing "Save as type" to "Text files" changes the default to ".txt". I presume that this bonus feature is not available on OSX, where defaultextension = '.py'. Before I update the doc (just before 2.7.9), can someone tell me what happens with linux, where defaultextension is '', as on Windows?
