[Solved] Leafpad doesn't display python files.

Before reinstalling arch it was able to, now it just shows an empty file...  I'm still able to view the contents in the terminal fine...

Can you post an example file and the commands that you're using to open it in leafpad and in the terminal?

I right clicked opened in PCManFM and I viewed it with vim.  I just did a leafpad filename.py and it works fine.  So I'm guessing theres something wrong with PCManFM.

Try "xdg-mime query default text/x-python"

I think I figured out why it doesn't work now.  I copied the folder from a external hdd so I didn't have the proper file permissions to view it.
