what is a PY file?

A .py file is a python file. Python is the programming language used to build large parts of the game.

As for how to convert, Notepad++ opens a huge array of files, and can open .wbs and save as .py by simply using "Save As" and then selecting .py

Its also very good at XML editing; i use it all the time. I suggest you get it if you dont have it. Just google search it.

duh - of course a py file is a python file. I claim a mental meltdown in that a wb file is just text describing the map and cannot be converted to python code. You can load up a wb file as a scenario but that is different.

You CAN convert the wbs into a py file, but im not sure why you wold want to.
Hell, i converted it right now with an old file.

sure - convert it to a py file all you like. I said you cannot convert it to python code.

What I'm looking to do is to take maps such as Earth 18 Civs and such and then convert them to a PY file so that hopefully I can play around with it on the Custom Game menu, picking what civs I want to use and such.

The custom scenario menu will allow you to do some of that stuff; I'm not sure how much it can do with civs, though, but the menu is available (some scenarios, such as the continent maps, don't have preassigned civs; not sure what it will do when civs are defined).
