I have similar problem on our PowerMac9500 running MacOS J-8.5 with
MacPython1.5.2c1. Double clicking or dropping a python script onto
Python Interpreter starts Python Interpreter but the script is not executed.
On the same computer, MacPython 1.5.1 works OK. Dropping a python script
onto Python starts execution of the scripts.

PowerMacG3 running MacOS J-8.6 with MacPython 1.5.2c1 does not have
such a problem, however.

MacPython 1.5.2c1 on my iMac(Rev.B) running MacOS9-J also works without
any problem.

On PowerMacG3 and iMac, MacPython1.5.1 was installed and used before 
installing 1.5.2c1. On PowerMac9500, no Python interpreter was installed before
1.5.2c1. Does it make difference?
