I don't know. My mozilla (firefox 0.9.3 on linux) displays ".py" files
from the file: URLs as text without any special configuration.
Here's a patch to pydoc to serve .py source files over http as
text/plain. It should be fairly easy to apply manually if you don't
have a unix-style "patch" program on your windows machine (just remove
the lines marked with "-" and add the ones marked with "+", at around
the line numbers given in the '@@" line).
I tested it minimally (again, on my linux machine with firefox 0.9.3)
and it works nicely. Modules and packages display their source code,
and non-.py files are no longer linked. instead you see text like
/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so (Shared module)
Please feel free to use these changes under the terms of the python
license.
