I'm not sure that this will help a lot (unless newer version of BBEdit look in 
the File Exchange panel, my trusty old BBEdit Lite 4.1 doesn't). In 4.1 I have 
to go to the BBEdit preferences, File Types, and there add a PythonInterpreter 
file type.

I looked into this when CM first came out and decided that it was doable, but 
never got around to actually doing it. If someone can provide the method to do 
this I'll gladly put it in the installer. The same, by the way, goes for 
adding the .py extension to the File Exchange (and the Internet Config) 
control panels.
