Python Syntax file for EditPlus

A Python 2.5 syntax module for EditPlus, a Windows text editor.

EditPlus is a commercial text editor for Windows. Like most developer-oriented editors, it supports per-language syntax coloring. It doesn't come with a Python language module, but there is one available from the official download page.

Unfortunately, it hadn't been kept up-to-date with recent Python versions.

The version I started with had a small list of keywords and some operators, and used "__" as a catch-all prefix for reserved words. This new version removes the use of "__" and adds groups for specific sets of standard library stuff:

• Set 1: Statements, operators, and built-in names (True, False, None).
• Set 2: Special method and attribute names like "__init__".
• Set 3: Standard Exceptions.
• Set 4: Standard types and built-in functions.

EditPlus supports up to 5 groups of keywords (why only 5?), so the remaining group is available for your own customizations.
