After ".py", use " ?" (the space is important) to force the search in firefox.

Using a question make in front of the term is traditionally how some browsers trigger search. They usually have a jeybconbe to add it automatically.
For example, in firefox and chrome ctrl-l will clear the URL bar and put the cursor and focus there to take you to the location you enter, and ctrl-k will do similar but pre-fill the location bar with a preceding '?' so a search is triggered on the input.
These shortcuts have existed for quite a while. They used to just focus the respective separate input boxes, when it wasn't all done through one.

What's a "jeybconbe"? It's a googlewhack for this thread.

And six hours later, as I read this thread, nobody has registered the domain still! ;-)

My best guess is that it looks like a typo for "keycombo".

Yes, thanks. Switched to a new keyboard on my phone, and I'm getting some different typos now. Not necessarily more, I always seem to have a lot that slip through, just different...

Or just start the query with `?`
Typing `?bla.py` in the omnibar will perform a search for `bla.py` on both Firefox and Chrome
