Message 92071 - Python tracker
A Python source file name doesn't necesarily end in .py/.pyw; on Linux, scripts usually have no extension but are recognized by its shebang line. Windows uses file type associations: .py files are of type Python.File, and .pyc files are Python.NoConFile. This patch makes IDLE recognize as a Python source (and colorize) any file of those types, regardless of extension. http://permalink.gmane.org/ gmane.comp.python.general/636011
