"""icopen patch

OVERVIEW

icopen patches MacOS Python to use the Internet Config file mappings to select

the type and creator for a file.

Version 1 released to the public domain 3 November 1999

by Oliver Steele (steele@cs.brandeis.edu).

DETAILS

This patch causes files created by Python's open(filename, 'w') command (and

by functions and scripts that call it) to set the type and creator of the file

to the type and creator associated with filename's extension (the

portion of the filename after the last period), according to Internet Config.

Thus, a script that creates a file foo.html will create one that opens in whatever

browser you've set to handle *.html files, and so on.

Python IDE uses its own algorithm to select the type and creator for saved

editor windows, so this patch won't effect their types.

As of System 8.6 at least, Internet Config is built into the system, and the

file mappings are accessed from the Advanced pane of the Internet control

panel.  User Mode (in the Edit menu) needs to be set to Advanced in order to

access this pane.

INSTALLATION

Put this file in your Python path, and create a file named {Python}:sitecustomize.py

that contains:

        import icopen

(If {Python}:sitecustomizer.py already exists, just add the 'import' line to it.)

The next time you launch PythonInterpreter or Python IDE, the patch will take

effect.
