pi@rpi3bplus-1:~$ grep -r -i "text/plain" /usr/share/mime/* |grep "python"
/usr/share/mime/subclasses:text/x-python text/plain
/usr/share/mime/text/x-python.xml:  
pi@rpi3bplus-1:~$

 From which I deduce that any application that handles text/plain will
be considered valid for text/x-python (I still have no idea why
text/x-python3 is so irregular on this system -- it shows up in some files
but not others).

 You might want to study the contents of the directory /user/share/mime


 AH -- there it may be...
pi@rpi3bplus-1:~$ cat /usr/share/mime/text/x-python3.xml

http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"
type="text/x-python3">
  
  Python 3 script

    <====== and x-python is
