What is the default application for .py files?

You can only link a specific MIME type (application/x-python) to an application in Firefox. If the server sends a file with a generic MIME type then this won't work.

You can use a command like this in a terminal window to query the default application and set the default application.

  • MIME type:
    xdg-mime query default application/x-python
  • Set default application for a MIME type:
    xdg-mime default bluefish.desktop application/x-python
