The standard answer here to people complaining about their editor not working well with python is that they should use a better editor. > Besides, I don't like bold for keywords (or anything in code) So? I don't like to append an "_" to make a reserved keyword into an identifier. What individual people like or not is not a big concern. > - I like > my keywords blue (RGB 0, 0, 255).

But I can pretty much guarantee that my > preferred editor will not ever understand "python format". <Shrug>, Different options are possible, in a file the keywords could just be prefixed with a Ctrl-K, and depending on the editor or its setting, this could be shown bold or blue or whatever. I don't care about the specifics at this point. I just wanted to make clear there is the option to make/show the distiction between identifiers and keywords more explicitly. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
