How do I make Leo recognize .recipe file extension as Python code files?

My problem was lack of proper indentation in the resulting @thin node. My assumption was that Leo would manage the proper indentation based on the outline. I was wrong. I viewed it as lack of expression in the extension as Python=*.py;*.pyw;*.recipe;SConscript; I retract my question.

True, but please note that the indentation of @other directives does matter.  For example::

    if 0:
        @others

Is it strict that an @auto node is only aware of certain file extensions? I would like if an @auto node was aware of the @language directive and made use of the correct parser without regard to extension.

An improvement should be possible.  If leo/modes/aLanguage.py exists, we would like @auto to insert @language aLanguage even if @auto doesn't know how to actually do more than import the file into a single node.  We can do this relatively easily by creating an auxiliary file extension dict with one entry for all languages (files) in leo/modes that @auto does not know how to import.

I'll put it on the to-do list.
