The updated version of this script for Pythonista 1.3 is here: https://gist.github.com/Uberi/5031803/

• URL is automatically opened in Safari (safari-http feature in 1.3)
• Currently open file is used (now you can add it to the actions menu)
• Script name is URL encoded to fix bugs where name had spaces and such
