New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com>: The Mac port of Python contains a binary named "PythonLauncher" which can be used as the association of ".py" and ".pyw" files. This program will launch the script (either in a Terminal window or without a window).
In hindsight adding this tool was not a good idea: this makes it way to easy to accidently launch python script downloaded from the Internet. Removing PythonLauncher would still allow running the scripts through IDLE (which also has an association to ".py" and ".pyw" files in it Info.plist). In my experience most ".py" files are modules instead of standalone scripts, opening the file in an editor would therefore be a better action in the majority of use-cases. ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh messages: 82108 nosy: ronaldoussoren severity: normal status: open title: PythonLauncher considered harmfull versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5262> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
