Remove from context menu

Much as I like and use TP I don't need to see "Open with. . . " or "Open in . . ." on a file context menu. How can I remove those items?

Need syntax def file for Python 3.5

Latest I could find is for Python 2.6. I'm learning Python so am not yet informed enough to update the existing file. Is anyone working on this?

The data that I want to isolate appear here and there throughout a very large file, with no eols. If I break up the file into separate lines the specified data can appear anywhe...
