[Tutor] Opening .py files in firefox

[Brian Gustin]

server needs to be set up with a handler to tell it what to do with the 
file , otherwise it will look at local host to determine what to do with 
it , via the extension, and if no extension is found, then it will 
simply offer to download the file to your computer . if you want it to 
display as text, the webserver needs to be set up to do so :)  If it is 
Apache Webserver, you need to use the AddHandler or SetHandler 
directives (note these directives differ between apache 1.3.x and 2.x)
