I have created a Smart Folder and set it for Text files, but it fills mostly with .xml documents that the system generates." -- If I create a Smart Folder with [Kind] is [Plain Text] and [File extension] is [py], it shows just my .py files and I'm assuming all of them as it's showing 1,319 of them. | |

I don't know how to do or even check the things you've mentioned, but I'll start looking into it. Thanks! | |

Is the executable bit set on them? FWIW Xcode is the application registered to open .py files on my system. | |
