I'd be surprised. The python UTI declaration is in the system (not in
Xcode as I originally believed) and it looks like this:
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<string>public.shell-script</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>Python script</string>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>public.python-script</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<array>
<string>py</string>
</array>
<key>public.mime-type</key>
<array>
<string>text/x-python-script</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
So basically anything with a .py extension should be indexed.
Use mdls and mdfind to find out files are not being indexed.
