Summary: Drop-Handler for Python files
Initial Comment:
Hi!
We had a dscussion about what happens when one drops a file on a python
sourcecode-file in the python-forum [1]. It turned out, that nothing happens at
all. So someone brought up a solution. It is not really a problem with Python
but it would be nice to add this to the Windows Installer.
The proposed solution was to add the following to the registry (this is the
format of the registry editor):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.NoConFile\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.CompiledFile\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"
That should be simple thing to do using the MSI-Installer.

I plan to implement this for 2.6; I think I can make sense out of it.
With this setting, dropping file foo.txt on file bar.py will run
"python.exe bar.py foo.txt", through different levels of indirection. So
the file (path) being dropped appears as sys.argv[1].

Suggesting close, for insufficient documentation.

What would happen then? For example, should it cause python to start up,
running with that file, and the dropped file as stdin?
