Please wait another contributor, more familiar with linux to answer this, cor-el probably ? :-)

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
