Comment #1 on issue 10649 by lcamtuf: .py files not handled as executables when downloaded http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10649
We probably can't account for every possible interpreter / unsafe renderer that might be installed on a system and registered to handle a particular file extension (say, I have http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ installed, but I don't expect Chrome or Safari to know what au3 files do), although we might try to cover the most common ones... how common is Python on Windows? This demonstrates why auto-download / one-click open is tricky, but not sure what could be done in absence of a unified way for registered applications to inform the browser they are capable of safely handling web-originating files... -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
