[Pythonmac-SIG] Double CLickable

One way is to go into the File Exchange control panel and associate 
.py, .pyc, and .pyo extensions with Python.

This brings to mind a minor gripe that I've developed in the course 
of several months of working in Python on NT- I've set things up so 
that .py is an executable and a script will run when double-clicked, 
but if I right-click instead, I have the option to edit it instead, 
either in PythonWin by default or in vim or visual studio as other 
choices. I find that I miss this choice when working on the Mac and 
am forever launching scripts that I really intended to edit. Does 
anyone happen to know of a Mac contextual menu module that emulates 
this behavior? Assuming yes but you can only choose among apps, how 
would you get it to let you edit in the Mac python IDE- maybe with an 
AppleScript that had been saved as an applet or something?
