[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 1.5.1 + MacOS 8.5.1 'Drag-n-Drop'

As part of my massive system rebuild where I updated to Alpha v7.1, I also
was upgrading to MacOS 8.5.1.

The basics of Python still seem to work, but I used to be able to
drag-n-drop a text file with a .py extension onto the Python icon and
Python would fire right up.

That doesn't seem to work any more.  If the text file has 'Pyth' as the
creator, drag-n-drop works fine.  However, files created by SimpleText or
Alpha are unresponsive.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tom
