Xcode support syntax coloring for a lot languages, including fringe languages like Dylan.

AFAIK Python support in Xcode is limited to syntax coloring.I'd like to see good Python support (not only autoindent but also support for Python debugging), but I don't think that'll happen unless lots of python programmers start filing feature requests for this in Apple's bugreporter.RonaldWell, by 'good' I mean 'better than I remember XCode 1.x having' which may well be incorrect anyways. Yea, it's mostly just syntax coloring, although it also knows enough to populate the symbols navigation dropdown.It's just always odd to find an editor supporting the syntax but not the autoindent, as I find both to be near deal-breakers.
Bug report filed. Any idea how responsive Apple has been to community requests? The only thing I've heard of is the whole WebKit/KHTML debacle.
IMHO the WebKit story was hyped, but I must say I haven't checked out al details. At least WebKit is now a more transparent project.
I don't know how responsive Apple is. At least one Apple engeneer really likes Python, and there are rumored to be more :-). I'd guess that Python support is not high on the TODO list for Xcode and won't be until someone big (such as Adobe) starts pushing for it.
My feature request for this asks for opening up Xcode a little, that way we could write Python support ourselves. Someone who really wants to enhance Xcode won't be stopped by lack of API documentation. There are several 3th party plugins for Mail.app and that doesn't have a public API either.
