Summary: Drop-Handler for Python files

Initial Comment:
Hi!

We had a dscussion about what happens when one drops a file on a python 
sourcecode-file in the python-forum [1]. It turned out, that nothing happens at 
all. So someone brought up a solution. It is not really a problem with Python 
but it would be nice to add this to the Windows Installer.

The proposed solution was to add the following to the registry (this is the 
format of the registry editor):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.NoConFile\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.CompiledFile\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"

That should be simple thing to do using the MSI-Installer.

What would happen then?  For example, should it cause python to start up,
running with that file, and the dropped file as stdin?
