Can you not just add a line to local/config.php?

     $UploadExtSize['py'] = 20000;

This will allow Python scripts up to 20 kbytes to be uploaded.

*** Make sure that scripts can't be executed in the uploads directory or 
you will have opened a massive security hole on your system. ***

An easy way of getting around this is to upload the script in ZIP format, 
as in "virusexample.py.zip"
