Only a draft right now, because it doesn't load properly when installed via a test MSI (works fine if I hack in the registration). I need to do more testing, but can't do it right now.

Isn't going to work at all for the MSIX, so this will also need a troublshooting entry over on the docs.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds drag-and-drop support for Python files by implementing a new COM drop handler (DragDropSupport class) and registering it in both MSI and MSIX/AppX packages. When files are dragged onto a Python script, the drop handler will execute the script with the dropped files as arguments.

Key Changes:

  • Implemented DragDropSupport COM class with IDropTarget and IPersistFile interfaces
  • Added drop handler registration in MSI for .py and .pyw file types
  • Added context menu registration for .pyw files in AppX manifest
  • Added test coverage for argument parsing and drop description functionality

Only a draft right now, because it doesn't load properly when installed via a test MSI (works fine if I hack in the registration). I need to do more testing, but can't do it right now.
Isn't going to work at all for the MSIX, so this will also need a troublshooting entry over on the docs.

Pull Request Overview
This PR adds drag-and-drop support for Python files by implementing a new COM drop handler (DragDropSupport class) and registering it in both MSI and MSIX/AppX packages. When files are dragged onto a Python script, the drop handler will execute the script with the dropped files as arguments.
Key Changes:
  • Implemented DragDropSupport COM class with IDropTarget and IPersistFile interfaces
  • Added drop handler registration in MSI for .py and .pyw file types
  • Added context menu registration for .pyw files in AppX manifest
  • Added test coverage for argument parsing and drop description functionality
