[FWTools] adding python extension

[Matt Wilkie]

If you don't have any other python installations to worry about running 
over, you might try this script which attempts to register python: 
http://effbot.org/zone/python-register.htm
(run the script from within the fwtools shell).

Another thing to try would be to hand edit the registry and add 
something like the attached (exported from my registry), but changed to 
follow your fwtools install.

cheers,
