Actually, I probably want to open it in Emacs.  But I don't think you need
to cater to my whims.  ;-)

As to edit vs execute, I would say "execute" because:

I can put an icon for the IDE in my doc, and drag/drop when I want to edit.
(But can I?...can I craft a dock icon which runs the IDE rather than
editing it...is the IDE itself a .py file?)

All in all, an interesting question.  Do the HIG say anything about what to
do about interpreted language source files?
