Can't view python files in archive

[hsauro]

If a combine archive contains a python file (eg run.py) the GUI apps lists it in the left panel but is unable to display its contents or copy the contents to the clipboard. If I change the extension to .txt (and change the manifest) I can view it.

If I recall correctly, for the previewing I use the 'standard' windows API to retrieve the preview. So this would mean that no previewer for python files has been registered on your windows instance (as you could verify if you select a python file in the explorer with the preview pane active).

Here some things you could try to register python previewing:
