@dejlek There is a limitation in Netbeans handling file without extensions. Same issue with files like JenkinFile, Dockerfile etc...

There is a workaround: You can Right click the file and Open As:

This will make Netbeans open it as a Python file:

The drawback is that from then Netbeans will open all files without extension as Python files.
